I too do not understand the 1st change in this patch ...

But get_signal() will do what you need, dequeue SIGKILL and clear SIGPENDING ?

	if ((signal->flags & SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT) ||
	     signal->group_exec_task) {
		clear_siginfo(&ksig->info);
		ksig->info.si_signo = signr = SIGKILL;
		sigdelset(&current->pending.signal, SIGKILL);

this "dequeues" SIGKILL,

		trace_signal_deliver(SIGKILL, SEND_SIG_NOINFO,
			&sighand->action[SIGKILL - 1]);
		recalc_sigpending();

this clears TIF_SIGPENDING.

see above...


Well... I think this code is actually wrong if if SIGSTOP is pending and
the task is PF_IO_WORKER, but this is also true for io-threads so we can
discuss this separately.
