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,
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.
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)
wait_event_killabel doesn't check for fatal_signal_pending before calling
schedule, so definitely has a nice race there.

But if you're sure that you really need to check PF_SIGNALED, then I'm
honestly not clear on what you're trying to pull off here. Your sparse
explanation of what happens isn't enough, since I have no idea how you can
get from get_signal() to the above wait_event_killable callsite.

Fatal signal will trigger process termination during which all FDs are released, including DRM's.

I think this should be fixed in core code, not papered over in some
subsystem.
