[ Upstream commit1dfd1711de] The locking in force_sig_info is not prepared to deal with a task that exits or execs (as sighand may change). As force_sig is only built to handle synchronous exceptions. Further the function force_sig_info changes the signal state if the signal is ignored, or blocked or if SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE will prevent the delivery of the signal. The signal SIGKILL can not be ignored and can not be blocked and SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE won't prevent it from being delivered. So using force_sig rather than send_sig for SIGKILL is pointless. Because it won't impact the sending of the signal and and because using force_sig is wrong, replace force_sig with send_sig. Cc: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Cc: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
