RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Colin Walters 2020-11-03 17:46:49 UTC
See https://github.com/openshift/cluster-network-operator/pull/859#issuecomment-721273970
I was trying to use `setpriv --pdeathsig`, but the version in RHEL8 was too old.

It's a very handy feature that comes up in shell scripts.

Comment 1 Karel Zak 2020-11-06 12:26:57 UTC
It seems we need to backport upstream commit:

 commit 23f54ce77773aa77f578084f2212b9173827fdc1
 Date:   Tue Apr 10 12:08:21 2018 +0100
 setpriv: implement option to set parent death signal

Comment 3 Colin Walters 2021-12-03 16:05:27 UTC
And here I tried to use it *again* forgetting it's not in RHEL8:
https://github.com/containers/containers-image-proxy-rs/pull/16

In this case though, it was definitely cleaner to use a proper API instead of forking a binary at least.
