Yes, but otoh perhaps we should change (fix) signalfd_siginfo/copyinfo,
its "default" case makes no sense if si_code < 0.

OK, so you add the additional put_user(kinfo->si_code). Again, in
this case we can extend signalfd_siginfo perhaps...

Anyway, the patch doesn't look right.

This probably needs copy_siginfo_to_user32() if is_compat_task...

__put_user() is not safe? This allows to write to the kernel memory.

Well, but this is racy. How we can know that fdget(ufd) still
points to the same file created by anon_inode_getfd? Not to
mention f.file can be NULL.

Another CLONE_FILES thread can do close() right after fd_install().
And it can also do dup3().
