Note that signalfd_put_sighand() doesn't need "sighand" parameter, please
see below.

I'm afraid this is not right. This should be per-thread.

Suppose we have threads T1 and T2 from the same thread group. sighand->sfdlist
contains ctx1 and ctx2 "linked" to T1 and T2. Now, T1 exits, __exit_signal()
does signalfd_notify(sighand, -1), and "unlinks" all threads, not just T1.

IOW, we should do

	if (ctx->tsk == current) {
		list_del_init(&ctx->lnk);
		wake_up(&ctx->wqh);
	}

Perhaps it makes sense to not re-use signalfd_deliver(), but introduce
a new signalfd_xxx(sighand, tsk) helper for de_thread/exit_signal.

Btw, signalfd_deliver() doesn't use "info" parameter.

Minor nit. Perhaps it makes sense to do

	void signalfd_deliver(struct task_struct *tsk, int sig, struct sigpending *pending)
	{
		struct sighand_struct *sighand = tsk->sighand;
		int private = (tsk->pending == pending);

		list_for_each_entry_safe(ctx, tmp, &sighand->sfdlist, lnk) {
			if (private && ctx->tsk != tsk)
				continue;
			if (!sigismember(&ctx->sigmask, sig))
				wake_up(&ctx->wqh);
		}
	}

Even better: signalfd_deliver(struct task_struct *tsk, int sig, int private).
This way specific_send_sig_info/send_sigqueue won't do a "false" wakeup.

This looks like unneeded complication to me, I'd suggest

		if (signalfd_get_sighand(ctx, &flags)) {
			ctx->sigmask = sigmask;
			signalfd_put_sighand(ctx, flags);
		}

unlock_task_sighand() (and thus signalfd_put_sighand) doesn't need "sighand"
parameter. signalfd_get_sighand() is in fact boolean. It makes sense to return
sighand, it may be useful, but this patch only needs != NULL.

Every usage of signalfd_get_sighand() could be simplified accordingly.

Very minor nit. I'd suggest to make a new helper and put it in signalfd.h
(like signalfd_notify()). This will help CONFIG_SIGNALFD.

I still think that we should do this only for suid-exec. If application
passes a signalfd to another process with unix socket, it should know
what it does. But yes, I agree, we can change this later if needed.
(in that case the caller of the above helper should be flush_old_exec).
