Ah, I misunderstood you, and I misread the "current == t" check above.
I wrongly thought that you suggest to suppress "si_fromuser()" when
the task sends a signal to itself.

Sorry for confusion.

Yes, because this makes the code more explicit imho. And we can avoid
the further complicatiions in send_signal() path.

Yes, you are right, see above.

I meant, it fixes the from-user logic, not from_ancestor_ns logic.

Oleg.
