    signal: Use PIDTYPE_TGID to clearly store where file signals will be sent · 01919134
    Eric W. Biederman authored
    When f_setown is called a pid and a pid type are stored.  Replace the use
    of PIDTYPE_PID with PIDTYPE_TGID as PIDTYPE_TGID goes to the entire thread
    group.  Replace the use of PIDTYPE_MAX with PIDTYPE_PID as PIDTYPE_PID now
    is only for a thread.
    
    Update the users of __f_setown to use PIDTYPE_TGID instead of
    PIDTYPE_PID.
    
    For now the code continues to capture task_pid (when task_tgid would
    really be appropriate), and iterate on PIDTYPE_PID (even when type ==
    PIDTYPE_TGID) out of an abundance of caution to preserve existing
    behavior.
    
    Oleg Nesterov suggested using the test to ensure we use PIDTYPE_PID
    for tgid lookup also be used to avoid taking the tasklist lock.
