Subject: [RT BUG] mismatched get_uid/free_uid usage in signals in
 4.9.312-rt193

The 4.19-rt patch,

   0329-signal-Prevent-double-free-of-user-struct.patch

needs to be ported to LAG 4.9-rt, as that release now has the Linus commit,

   fda31c50292a ("signal: avoid double atomic counter increments for user accounting")

which breaks the longstanding rt patch,

   0259-signals-Allow-rt-tasks-to-cache-one-sigqueue-struct.patch

Current application status:

   4.4.302-rt232	OK	has both Linus's patch and the fix needed for rt.
   4.9.312-rt193	BROKE	has Linus's patch but not the fix.
   4.14.87-rt50 	OK	does NOT have either Linus's patch nor its rt fix.
   4.19.246-rt110 	OK	has both Linus's patch and the fix needed for rt.
   5.4.193-rt74 	OK	has both Linus's patch and the fix needed for rt.
   5.10.120-rt70	OK	has both Linus's patch and the fix needed for rt.
   5.15.44-rt46 	UNKNOWN	no get_uid/free_uid usage in kernel/signal.c anymore.

Joe
