SubjectRe: [RFC][PATCH 3/7][v4] Define siginfo_from_ancestor_ns()

Yes, it was that way in the earlier version, but I thought we introduced
CONFIG_PID_NS only to hide the ugliness resulting from pid-ns. Ok. I
will revert.

| Hmm... why do you want this? The user-space can use any si_code >= 0,
| why should we uglify the code?

I thought losing a SIGKILL, however twisted the path, was serious enough
to justify the ugliness. Again, I am not particular.

|

I was wondering if I should there too :-) But what do you think ?
