No. I'm talking about the userlevel side, not kernel side.
If a thread is canceled *after* it returns from the syscall but before it reports the event to the call (i.e., while still in the syscall wrapper, thread cancellation rules require a check there) the event is lost.
Linus was only talking about the kernel side and how in the exit path such events are not lost. - 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/
