[PATCH 0/4] um: Set parent-death signal for sub-processes
Posted by Tiwei Bie 1 month ago
The ubd io and write_sigio threads/processes may leak e.g. when
the main process is killed by "kill -9". Fix it by setting the
parent-death signal for them.

Tiwei Bie (4):
  um: Add os_set_pdeathsig helper function
  um: Set parent-death signal for ubd io thread/process
  um: Set parent-death signal for write_sigio thread/process
  um: Use os_set_pdeathsig helper in winch thread/process
