## NAME

task\_set\_jobctl\_pending - set jobctl pending bits

## SYNOPSIS

**bool task\_set\_jobctl\_pending(struct task\_struct \*** *task***, unsigned int** *mask***);**

## ARGUMENTS

## DESCRIPTION

Clear *mask* from *task*-\>jobctl. *mask* must be subset of **JOBCTL\_PENDING\_MASK** \| **JOBCTL\_STOP\_CONSUME** \| **JOBCTL\_STOP\_SIGMASK** \| **JOBCTL\_TRAPPING**.
