[Devel] Re: pidns : PR_SET_PDEATHSIG + SIGKILL regression

[Serge E. Hallyn]

Thanks, Daniel, great testcase.

Suka, Pavel, the problem is because send_signal() only calls a
signal from_ancestor_ns if is_si_special(info), while reparent_thread()
sends SEND_SIG_NOINFO.

Why is the '!is_si_special(info)' check there for from_ancestor_ns()?
