Cough... lets forget this patch for the moment.

Is prepare_kill_siginfo() correct when we send a signal to the child
pid namespace? si_pid = task_tgid_vnr(current) doesn't look right in
this case but perhaps I am totally confused.

And why do we need it at all? Can't sys_kill() and pidfd_send_signal()
just use SEND_SIG_NOINFO?

OK, I am sure I missed something. Will read this code tomorrow.

Oleg.
