From 019191342fecce4a461978a7191a43f313e19e86 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Sun, 16 Jul 2017 22:05:57 -0500 Subject: signal: Use PIDTYPE_TGID to clearly store where file signals will be sent When f_setown is called a pid and a pid type are stored. Replace the use of PIDTYPE_PID with PIDTYPE_TGID as PIDTYPE_TGID goes to the entire thread group. Replace the use of PIDTYPE_MAX with PIDTYPE_PID as PIDTYPE_PID now is only for a thread. Update the users of __f_setown to use PIDTYPE_TGID instead of PIDTYPE_PID. For now the code continues to capture task_pid (when task_tgid would really be appropriate), and iterate on PIDTYPE_PID (even when type == PIDTYPE_TGID) out of an abundance of caution to preserve existing behavior. Oleg Nesterov suggested using the test to ensure we use PIDTYPE_PID for tgid lookup also be used to avoid taking the tasklist lock. Suggested-by: Oleg Nesterov Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
