From: Matt Fleming <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> v4.19.135-rt61-rc1 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ----------- [ Upsteam commit 9567db2ebe566a93485e1a27d8759969d0002d7a ] The way user struct reference counting works changed significantly with, fda31c50292a ("signal: avoid double atomic counter increments for user accounting") Now user structs are only freed once the last pending signal is dequeued. Make sigqueue_free_current() follow this new convention to avoid freeing the user struct multiple times and triggering this warning: refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
