Subject: Re: [PATCH] pidfd: change pidfd_send_signal() to respect PIDFD_THREAD

Yes, but iiuc send_signal_locked() should fixup si_pid/si_uid, so it
is not buggy.

Probably yes. And even do_tkill() can use SEND_SIG_NOINFO if we change
__send_signal_locked() to check the type before ".si_code = SI_USER".
but then TP_STORE_SIGINFO() needs some changes...

I'll try to do this later, I do not want to mix this change with the
PIDFD_THREAD changes.

Oleg.
