[RFC][PATCH 09/11] tty_io: Use do_send_sig_info in __do_SACK to forcibly kill tasks

From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Tue Jul 10 2018 - 22:46:40 EST


send_sig is thread only making it the wrong command for an action
directed at a process.

force_sig does not set SEND_SIG_FORCED (causing unnecessary work in
__send_signal) and jumps through unnecessary hoops to deal
with blocked and ignored signals which SIGKILL can never be.

Therefore use do_send_sig_info in all cases in __do_SAK to kill
tasks as allows for exactly what the code wants to do.
