Subject: [PATCH 05/10] signal: send_sig_all no longer needs SEND_SIG_FORCED
Date: Mon,  3 Sep 2018 22:44:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180903204430.25473-5-ebiederm@xmission.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87musyl3fa.fsf@xmission.com>

Now that send_signal always delivers SEND_SIG_PRIV signals to a pid
namespace init it is no longer necessary to use SEND_SIG_FORCED when
calling do_send_sig_info to ensure that pid namespace inits are
signaled and possibly killed.  Using SEND_SIG_PRIV is sufficient.

So use SEND_SIG_PRIV so that userspace when it receives a SIGTERM can
tell that the kernel sent the signal and not some random userspace
application.

Fixes: b82c32872db2 ("sysrq: use SEND_SIG_FORCED instead of force_sig()")
