DO_SIGNAL_STOP(9) Driver Basics DO_SIGNAL_STOP(9)
NAME
do_signal_stop - handle group stop for SIGSTOP and other stop signals
SYNOPSIS
bool do_signal_stop(int signr);
ARGUMENTS
signr
signr causing group stop if initiating
DESCRIPTION
If JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING is not set yet, initiate group stop with signr and participate in it. If already set, participate in the existing
group stop. If participated in a group stop (and thus slept), true is returned with siglock released.
If ptraced, this function doesn't handle stop itself. Instead, JOBCTL_TRAP_STOP is scheduled and false is returned with siglock untouched.
The caller must ensure that INTERRUPT trap handling takes places afterwards.
CONTEXT
Must be called with current->sighand->siglock held, which is released on true return.
RETURNS
false if group stop is already cancelled or ptrace trap is scheduled. true if participated in group stop.
