This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled kselftest: signal all child processes to the 5.16-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: kselftest-signal-all-child-processes.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.16 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8e7fc917cced744b99b1f3d317779bf20c4977c1 Author: Li Zhijian <lizhijian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Dec 17 17:29:55 2021 +0800 kselftest: signal all child processes [ Upstream commit 92d25637a3a45904292c93f1863c6bbda4e3e38f ] We have some many cases that will create child process as well, such as pidfd_wait. Previously, we will signal/kill the parent process when it is time out, but this signal will not be sent to its child process. In such case, if child process doesn't terminate itself, ksefltest framework will hang forever. Here we group all its child processes so that kill() can signal all of them in timeout.
