You say me can return _last_ error core. but this function return
_first_. 

I write second variant where not terminate loop and save _last_ error
code (i was sending in previous mail). but if you have i write full
function:
====
int __kill_pg_info(int sig, struct siginfo *info, pid_t pgrp)
{
	struct task_struct *p;
	struct list_head *l;
	struct pid *pid;
 	int retval = 0;
 	int err = -1;
 
 	if (pgrp <= 0)
 		return -EINVAL;

        for_each_task_pid(pgrp, PIDTYPE_PGID, p, l, pid) {
                 err = group_send_sig_info(sig, info, p);
                if( err )
                        retval = err;

         }
        return err==-1 ? -ESRCH : retval;
}
===
what you think about its code ?
