Subjectrecalc_sigpending() / recalc_sigpending_tsk() ?
Date
I'm looking at merging the changes made to JFFS2 in 2.5, with the intention 
of again having a single codebase that compiles in both 2.5 and 2.4.

I'm a little confused by the changes to recalc_sigpending().

It seems that the name of the function was changed to recalc_sigpending_tsk()
and a new function called recalc_sigpending() was added.

Was there a reason for doing this, rather than just introducing the new
function with a different name, such as recalc_sigpending_cur()? It breaks
2.4 source compatibility in a way that seems entirely gratuitous.

Before I have to go and do something evil in my compatmac.h to work round
this, is there any chance of putting the original recalc_sigpending() back?

Linus, would you accept such a patch?

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2,5,5)
#include <linux/sched.h>
/* Grrr. Gratuitous breakage */
#define recalc_sigpending() recalc_sigpending(current)
/* Unfortunately this one can't work, because of the above
#define recalc_sigpending_tsk(t) recalc_sigpending(t)
*/
#endif
