libbpf CI has reported send_signal test is flaky although I am not able to reproduce it in my local environment. But I am able to reproduce with on-demand libbpf CI ([1]). Through code analysis, the following is possible reason. The failed subtest runs bpf program in softirq environment. Since bpf_send_signal() only sends to a fork of "test_progs" process. If the underlying current task is not "test_progs", bpf_send_signal() will not be triggered and the subtest will fail. To reduce the chances where the underlying process is not the intended one, this patch boosted scheduling priority to -20 (highest allowed by setpriority() call). And I did 10 runs with on-demand libbpf CI with this patch and I didn't observe any failures.
