From 0b44bf9a6f5cde099ae21b4aa94553484203769a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2017 15:45:38 -0500 Subject: signal: Simplify and fix kdb_send_sig - Rename from kdb_send_sig_info to kdb_send_sig As there is no meaningful siginfo sent - Use SEND_SIG_PRIV instead of generating a siginfo for a kdb signal. The generated siginfo had a bogus rationale and was not correct in the face of pid namespaces. SEND_SIG_PRIV is simpler and actually correct. - As the code grabs siglock just send the signal with siglock held instead of dropping siglock and attempting to grab it again. - Move the sig_valid test into kdb_kill where it can generate a good error message.
