Why not. If you are going to change this code to use set_current_blocked(),
I'd suggest you to send the "export set_current_blocked" patch in series.
Otherwise, if it is sent separately, your change will depend on another
tree.

Or you can use sigprocmask(). Actually it should die, but this won't happen
soon and it is already exported.

Yes, it can have much more users.

But note that set_current_blocked() can't help you to really block
SIGKILL anyway.

Could you explain why __l_wait_event() can't use TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
instead of cfs_block_sigsinv(0) ?

Oleg.
