signals: consolidate send_sigqueue and send_group_sigqueue
Both functions do the same thing after proper locking, but with different sigpending structs, so move the common code into a helper. After this we have 4 places that look very similar: send_sigqueue: calls do_send_sigqueue and signal_wakeup send_group_sigqueue: calls do_send_sigqueue and __group_complete_signal __group_send_sig_info: calls send_signal and __group_complete_signal specific_send_sig_info: calls send_signal and signal_wakeup Besides, send_signal performs actions similar to do_send_sigqueue's and __group_complete_signal - to signal_wakeup. It looks like they can be consolidated gracefully. Oleg said: Personally, I think this change is very good. But send_sigqueue() and send_group_sigqueue() have a very subtle difference which I was never able to understand. Let's suppose that sigqueue is already queued, and the signal is ignored (the latter means we should re-schedule cpu timer or handle overrruns). In that case send_sigqueue() returns 0, but send_group_sigqueue() returns 1. I think this is not the problem (in fact, I think this patch makes the behaviour more correct), but I hope Thomas can take a look and confirm.
