Why should we ignore errors other > than -EFAULT? Nothing wrong with it. The code is this way because it was simply copied over from the signal32.c implementation which has to translate around the 32-bit types into the 64-bit ones the kernel wants. But since the 64-bit side doesn't need the translations, it doesn't need to do the funny do_sigaltstack() call sequence either. I'll apply your patch, thanks! - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
