From 7978b567d31555fc828b8f945c605ad29e117b22 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2009 16:58:04 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] signals: add from_ancestor_ns parameter to send_signal() send_signal() (or its helper) needs to determine the pid namespace of the sender. But a signal sent via kill_pid_info_as_uid() comes from within the kernel and send_signal() does not need to determine the pid namespace of the sender. So define a helper for send_signal() which takes an additional parameter, 'from_ancestor_ns' and have kill_pid_info_as_uid() use that helper directly. The 'from_ancestor_ns' parameter will be used in a follow-on patch. Signed-off-by: Sukadev Bhattiprolu Cc: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Roland McGrath Cc: "Eric W.
