Hi Oleg.
Right, this above is not a good check for a NULL sighand.
Possibly, this routine could use something like the
rcu_read_lock()/lock_task_sighand() sequences used elsewhere
(shown below).
The whole ptrace_update_traced_signals() where we drain ignored signals
is not dealt with today by ptraced tasks when the debugger exits or
detaches from a target task. So this whole routine is not entirely
related just to selective signal ptracing.
Thanks for you input.
