it is set ro the return value from __dequeue_signal() right
at the function beginning.
Besides, after recalc_sigpending() two checks for signr to
be not 0 may be merged into one. Both if-s become easier
to read.

Any chance that

makes this report go away?
I'll have to install a git repo to check, or maybe you can send me the diff to
reverse vs. 2.6.25-rc2?

To unsubscribe from this list: send the line
Both function do the same thing after proper locking, but
with different sigpening 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
RFC: Update coding standard to avoid split up printk format strings
Common occurrence: You see some error message in the kernel log you don't
understand, Standard way to handle this is to grep the kernel source code
for that error message and then look at the code and figure out what
is wrong

Really? Xen guests should work on non-PAE if you have a non-PAE
hypervisor (which most distros don't ship but which does exist).
