The function send_signal was split from __send_signal so that it would be possible to bypass the namespace logic based upon current[1]. As it turns out the si_pid and the si_uid fixup are both inappropriate in the case of kill_pid_usb_asyncio so move that logic into send_signal. It is difficult to arrange but possible for a signal with an si_code of SI_TIMER or SI_SIGIO to be sent across namespace boundaries. In which case tests for when it is ok to change si_pid and si_uid based on SI_FROMUSER are incorrect. Replace the use of SI_FROMUSER with a new test has_si_pid_and_used based on siginfo_layout. Now that the uid fixup is no longer present after expanding SEND_SIG_NOINFO properly calculate the si_uid that the target task needs to read. [1] |

README
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.
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.
