Subject: [PATCH] signal: skip blocked signals in dequeue_synchronous_signal()
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 21:11:01 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261020181101.1605736-1-thnkslprpt@gmail.com> (raw)
dequeue_synchronous_signal() checks whether an unblocked
synchronous signal is pending, but its queue scan can select a
different blocked entry with a positive si_code. This can deliver
a signal while it is still blocked.
Check the blocked mask for each queued entry. Forced faults
are unblocked when necessary by force_sig_info_to_task(), and the
existing pending bookkeeping is unchanged.
Fixes: 7146db3317c6 ("signal: Better detection of synchronous signals")
Signed-off-by: Avi Weiss <thnkslprpt@gmail.com>

Reproduced by blocking SIGSEGV, queuing a positive-code SIGSEGV
with rt_tgsigqueueinfo(), then triggering an unblocked SIGTRAP.
Without the fix, SIGSEGV was delivered while still blocked.
Patched version behaved as expected.
