You want fatal_signal_pending() here, instead of inventing your own broken
version.
I rely on current->flags & PF_SIGNALED because this being set from
within get_signal,
It doesn't mean that. Unless you are called by do_coredump (you
aren't).
Looking in latest code here
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v4.17-rc2/source/kernel/signal.c#L2449
i see that current->flags |= PF_SIGNALED; is out side of
if (sig_kernel_coredump(signr)) {...} scope

The closing of files does not happen in do_coredump.
Which means you are being called from do_exit.
In fact you are being called after exit_files which closes
the files. The actual __fput processing happens in task_work_run.
meaning I am within signal processing in which case I want to avoid
any signal based wait for that task,
From what i see in the code, task_struct.pending.signal is being set
for other threads in same
group (zap_other_threads) or for other scenarios, those task are still
able to receive signals
so calling wait_event_killable there will not have problem.
Excpet that you are geing called after from do_exit and after exit_files
which is after exit_signal. Which means that PF_EXITING has been set.
Which implies that the kernel signal handling machinery has already
started being torn down.
Not as much as I would like to happen at that point as we are still
left with some old CLONE_PTHREAD messes in the code that need to be
cleaned up.
Still given the fact you are task_work_run it is quite possible even
release_task has been run on that task before the f_op->release method
is called. So you simply can not count on signals working.
Which in practice leaves a timeout for ending your wait. That code can
legitimately be in a context that is neither interruptible nor killable.
entity->fini_status = -ERESTARTSYS;
else
entity->fini_status = wait_event_killable(sched->job_scheduled,
But really this smells like a bug in wait_event_killable, since
wait_event_interruptible does not suffer from the same bug. It will return
immediately when there's a signal pending.
Even when wait_event_interruptible is called as following -
...->do_signal->get_signal->....->wait_event_interruptible ?
I haven't tried it but wait_event_interruptible is very much alike to
wait_event_killable so I would assume it will also
not be interrupted if called like that. (Will give it a try just out
of curiosity anyway)
As PF_EXITING is set want_signal should fail and the signal state of the
task should not be updatable by signals.
