Ok, I was looking at sockets and not tty's and that has the following in
net/core/sock.c
case F_SETOWN:
/*
* This is a little restrictive, but it's the only
* way to make sure that you can't send a sigurg to
* another process.
*/
if (current->pgrp != -arg &&
current->pid != arg &&
!capable(CAP_KILL)) return(-EPERM);
sk->proc = arg;
return(0);
So it wouldn't work with socketpairs, but with tty's it should.
