signal: Remove task argument from dequeue_signal()

2024-07-29T19:57:35+00:00

The task pointer which is handed to dequeue_signal() is always current. The argument along with the first comment about signalfd in that function is confusing at best. Remove it and use current internally. Update the stale comment for dequeue_signal() while at it.

pidfd: exit: kill the no longer used thread_group_exited()

2024-02-06T13:02:51+00:00

It was used by pidfd_poll() but now it has no callers. If it finally finds a modular user we can revert this change, but note that the comment above this helper and the changelog in 38fd525a4c61 ("exit: Factor thread_group_exited out of pidfd_poll") are not accurate, thread_group_exited() won't return true if all other threads have passed exit_notify() and are zombies, it returns true only when all other threads are completely gone. Not to mention that it can only work if the task identified by @pid is a thread-group leader.

sched.h: move pid helpers to pid.h

This is needed for killing the sched.h dependency on rcupdate.h, and pid.h is a better place for this code anyways. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet

kernel/signal.c: simplify force_sig_info_to_task(), kill recalc_sigpending_and_wake()

2023-12-11T01:21:32+00:00

The purpose of recalc_sigpending_and_wake() is not clear, it looks "obviously unneeded" because we are going to send the signal which can't be blocked or ignored. Add the comment to explain why we can't rely on send_signal_locked() and make this logic more simple/explicit. recalc_sigpending_and_wake() has no other users, it can die. In fact I think we don't even need signal_wake_up(), the target task must be either current or a TASK_TRACED child, otherwise the usage of siglock is not safe. But this needs another change.

introduce for_other_threads(p, t)

2023-12-11T01:21:25+00:00

Cosmetic, but imho it makes the usage look more clear and simple, the new helper doesn't require to initialize "t". After this change while_each_thread() has only 3 users, and it is only used in the do/while loops.

change thread_group_empty() to use task_struct->thread_node

2023-10-04T17:41:56+00:00

Patch series "kill task_struct->thread_group". This patch (of 2): It could use list_is_singular() but this way it is cheaper. Plus the thread_group_leader() check makes it clear that thread_group_empty() can only return true if p is a group leader. This was not immediately obvious before this patch. task_struct->thread_group no longer has users, it can die.
