Hi,
this is probably related to commit 7a0cf094944e2540758b7f957eb6846d5126f535 (signal: Correct namespace fixups of si_pid and si_uid).
With a 5.6.5 kernel I am seeing SIGCHLD signals that don't include a properly set si_pid field - this seems to happen for multi-threaded child processes.
A simple test program (based on the sample from the signalfd man page):
#include <sys/signalfd.h> #include <signal.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <spawn.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h>
#define handle_error(msg) \ do { perror(msg); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } while (0)
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { sigset_t mask; int sfd; struct signalfd_siginfo fdsi; ssize_t s;
sigemptyset(&mask); sigaddset(&mask, SIGCHLD);
if (sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, &mask, NULL) == -1) handle_error("sigprocmask");
pid_t chldpid; char *chldargv[] = { "./sfdclient", NULL }; posix_spawn(&chldpid, "./sfdclient", NULL, NULL, chldargv, NULL);
sfd = signalfd(-1, &mask, 0); if (sfd == -1) handle_error("signalfd");
for (;;) { s = read(sfd, &fdsi, sizeof(struct signalfd_siginfo)); if (s != sizeof(struct signalfd_siginfo)) handle_error("read");
if (fdsi.ssi_signo == SIGCHLD) { printf("Got SIGCHLD %d %d %d %d\n", fdsi.ssi_status, fdsi.ssi_code, fdsi.ssi_uid, fdsi.ssi_pid); return 0; } else { printf("Read unexpected signal\n"); }} }
and a multi-threaded client to test with:
#include <unistd.h> #include <pthread.h>
void *f(void *arg) { sleep(100); }
int main() { pthread_t t[8];
for (int i = 0; i != 8; ++i) { pthread_create(&t[i], NULL, f, NULL); } }
I tried to do a bit of debugging and what seems to be happening is that
/* From an ancestor pid namespace? */ if (!task_pid_nr_ns(current, task_active_pid_ns(t))) {
fails inside task_pid_nr_ns because the check for "pid_alive" fails.
This code seems to be called from do_notify_parent and there we actually have "tsk != current" (I am assuming both are threads of the current process?)
I instrumented the code with a warning and received the following backtrace:

The immediate problem is as Christof noticed that "pid_alive(current) == false". This happens because do_notify_parent is called from the last thread to exit in a process after that thread has been reaped.
The bigger issue is that do_notify_parent can be called from any process that manages to wait on a thread of a multi-threaded process from wait_task_zombie. So any logic based upon current for do_notify_parent is just nonsense, as current can be pretty much anything.
So change do_notify_parent to call __send_signal directly.
Inspecting the code it appears this problem has existed since the pid namespace support started handling this case in 2.6.30. This fix only backports to 7a0cf094944e ("signal: Correct namespace fixups of si_pid and si_uid") where the problem logic was moved out of __send_signal and into send_signal.
