Great. I never understood PF_FREEZER_NOSIG logic ;)

One question,

Why? This recalc_sigpending() makes sense imho. Otherwise the user-space
tasks (almost) always return with TIF_SIGPENDING. May be we can do this
under "if (PF_KTRHREAD)".

For example. Suppose the user-space task does wait_event_freezable()...

Hmm. OTOH, wait_event_freezable() looks wrong anyway... So probably
this doesn't matter. ptrace_stop/get_signal_to_deliver doesn't need
this, probably we do not care about the other callers.

It seems, a lot of get_signal_to_deliver() calles also call
try_to_freeze() for no reason.


So, yes, I am starting to think this change is fine too ;)

Oleg.
