[PATCH stable 6.12 5/9] um: Set parent-death signal for write_sigio thread/process
From: Florian Fainelli
Date: Fri Jul 24 2026 - 17:41:39 EST
From: Tiwei Bie <tiwei.btw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit c6c4adee65969218b0b7b13f568fd2c6f2333373 upstream
The write_sigio thread is not really a traditional thread. Set
the parent-death signal for it to ensure that it will be killed
if the UML kernel dies unexpectedly without proper cleanup.
