    hammer - Fix coredump bug which can stall processes
    
    * Fix a coredump bug which can stall the process.  If a process > 100MB is
      in the process of being coredumped, a signal will cause the hammer_write()
      path to hit tstop() due to the core-dump being in progress.  Unfortunately
      the write might be happening from the kernel core generator itself which
      will stall the process forever with a number of locks held.
    
      hammer only checks for signals on very large (> 100MB) read() and write()
      calls so the issue does not effect coredumps of smaller processes.
    
    * Use CURSIG_NOBLOCK() instead of CURSIG().
