Subject: [PATCH] signalfd: don't dequeue the forced fatal signals
Date: Sun, 5 Apr 2026 18:09:21 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <adKJMRkQJXEwHs-j@redhat.com> (raw)

These signals should act like SIGKILL, in that userspace must never dequeue
them. But as Kusaram explains, io_uring-driven signalfd_read_iter() called
from get_signal() -> task_work_run() paths can do this before get_signal()
has a chance to dequeue such a signal and notice SA_IMMUTABLE.

Change signalfd_poll() and signalfd_dequeue() to add pending SA_IMMUTABLE
signals to ctx->sigmask.
