I cannot seem to find any explicit note about task_lock vs. signal nesting nor task_lock() anywhere in kernel/signal.c so I rather ask. Can we call do_send_sig_info with task_lock held?Yes. Simply because task_lock() doesn't disable irqs and (unfortunately ;) we do send the signals from interrupts.
