Yes, send it now. It might be best just to send a replacement
for signals-tracehook_notify_jctl-change.patch that rolls this in.
I wouldn't mention particular utrace code in its log message.
Just something like the old log paragraph:
Tracing needs the siglock here, held from the time TASK_STOPPED was set,
to avoid potential SIGCONT races if it wants to allow any blocking in its
tracing hooks.
adjusted appropriately, perhaps:
Tracing wants to be able to drop and reacquire the siglock here,
before TASK_STOPPED is set, to avoid potential SIGCONT races if it
wants to allow any blocking in its tracing hooks.
Thanks,
Roland
