A sigqueue belonging to a posix timer, which target is not a specific
thread but a whole thread group, is preferrably targeted to the current
task if it is part of that thread group.
However nothing prevents a posix timer event from queueing such a
sigqueue from a reaped yet running task. The interruptible code space
between exit_notify() and the final call to schedule() is enough for
posix_timer_fn() hrtimer to fire.
If that happens while the current task is part of the thread group
target, it is proposed to handle it but since its sighand pointer may
have been cleared already, the sigqueue is dropped even if there are
other tasks running within the group that could handle it.
As a result posix timers with thread group wide target may miss signals
when some of their threads are exiting.
Fix this with verifying that the current task hasn't been through
exit_notify() before proposing it as a preferred target so as to ensure
that its sighand is still here and stable.
complete_signal() might still reconsider the choice and find a better
target within the group if current has passed retarget_shared_pending()
already.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
