Ah, sorry... I only suggested to change the signature of send_signal_locked()
and thus has_si_pid_and_uid(). Perhaps a broader change makes sense too, but
this conflicts with another (under discussion) series:
PATCH v2 3/3] signal: fix evasion of SA_IMMUTABLE signals
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ajVD6ZmiSQLxjj57@redhat.com/
Now let me take another look at 1/2 ...
Oleg.
