Is is what you expect for that? Yes, that's expected. The event if for the queue, not directed to a specific thread. If in future we want to think about preferably waking a specific thread we can then think about it. But I doubt that'll be beneficial. The thread specific part in the signal handling is only used to implement the SIGEV_THREAD notification. -- ➧ Ulrich Drepper ➧ Red Hat, Inc. ➧ 444 Castro St ➧ Mountain View, CA ❖ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
