CVE-2026-99244

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

pid_namespace: prevent TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL from interrupting the reaper

Since commit 7fea700e04bd ("zap_pid_ns_processes: clear TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL along with TIF_SIGPENDING") zap_pid_ns_processes() clears TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL before every kernel_wait4() call. Otherwise kernel_wait4() doesn't sleep and returns -ERESTARTSYS if signal_pending() is true and the reaper busy-waits.

But clearing TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL doesn't fix it. It can get raised again. For example, klp_send_signals() sets it raw against any task that hasn't transitioned yet. And it keeps sending it until the livepatch finishes.

The sleep loop waiting for pid_allocated to drop has the same problem and it doesn't even clear anything. So a schedule() in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE returns immediately.

Use a no_notify_signal guard. signal_pending() will ignore TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL and the pid namespace reaper sleeps until a child exits or free_pid() wakes it.
