From cbaffba12ce08beb3e80bfda148ee0fa14aac188 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Mon, 26 May 2008 20:55:42 +0400 Subject: posix timers: discard SI_TIMER signals on exec Based on Roland's patch. This approach was suggested by Austin Clements from the very beginning, and then by Linus. As Austin pointed out, the execing task can be killed by SI_TIMER signal because exec flushes the signal handlers, but doesn't discard the pending signals generated by posix timers. Perhaps not a bug, but people find this surprising.
