I was hitting bug when I tried that.I think that's because you
basically let the signal handler do pending work before you check the
flag, that's not a good idea.

Yes, I will propose a fix on each architecture.

I am not sure to be honest. I expected schedule to only schedule the
processor to another task which would be fine given only the current
task have a bogus fs. I will put it first in case there is an edge
case scenario I missed.
What do you think? Let me know and I will look at changes all
architectures and testing them.
Thanks!
