I don't understand the "(sig >= SIGRTMIN || !sigismember(&ctx->pending, sig))"
check. This mimics the LEGACY_QUEUE() check, but seems strange. The signal may
be pending in ctx->pending just because it was not signalfd_fetchsig()ed, yes?

Please also see below.

Can't this race with sys_signalfd_dequeue() which use lockless __add_wait_queue()?
Looks like we should do __wake_up_locked() under ctx->sighand->siglock.

It is strange that we are doing signalfd_notify() even if the signal is ignored.
Isn't it better to shift signalfd_notify() into send_signal() ? This way we do
not need the special check in signalfd_deliver() above.

Also, this patch doesn't take send_sigqueue/send_group_sigqueue into account.

Oleg.
