[Mesa-dev] [PATCH] gallium: block signals for new thread when spawning threads

[Dave Airlie]

From: Dave Airlie <airlied at redhat.com>

I'm hard pressed to think of any reason a gallium thread would want to
receive a signal, especially considering its probably loaded as a library
and you don't want the threads interfering with the main threads signal
handling.

This solves a problem loading llvmpipe into the X server for AIGLX,
where the X server relies on the SIGIO signal going to the main thread,
but once llvmpipe loads the SIGIO can end up in any of its threads.
