Ah, good. Can't understand why I didn't think about this before!

But, perhaps, it is better to add the new helper, __send_signal()
or whatever which has the new "from_ancestor_ns" argument. Then,

	static int send_signal(...)
	{
		bool from_ancestor_ns = 0;

	#ifdef CONFIG_PID_NS
		if (!is_si_special(info) && SI_FROMUSER(info)) {
			from_ancestor_ns = !task_pid_nr_ns(current, task_active_pid_ns(t));
		}
	#endif

		return __send_signal(..., from_ancestor_ns);
	}

but this is cosmetic issue.

Oleg.
