Commit 8b401f9ed2 ("bpf: implement bpf_send_signal() helper")
introduced bpf_send_signal() helper. If the context is nmi,
the sending signal work needs to be deferred to irq_work.
If the signal is invalid, the error will appear in irq_work
and it won't be propagated to user.
This patch did an early check in the helper itself to notify
user invalid signal, as suggested by Daniel.

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 Restructured Text 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.
