I do not understand what you are saying. What I was saying is this:

If cancellation points worked in the libc but not in the kernel, they would
be completely useless. But that is not the case (in implementations we know
of), and therefore the issue is moot.

Since it is about cancellation points, it is about DEFERRED cancel, not
ASYNCHRONOUS cancel. ASYNCHRONOUS cancel is another story entirely, but as
you write, it is unneeded here.
