Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Check for ->wo_info != NULL in wait_noreap_copyout()
Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2009 16:50:03 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1246978201-10875-3-git-send-email-v.mayatskih@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1246978201-10875-1-git-send-email-v.mayatskih@gmail.com>
Current behaviour of sys_waitid() looks odd. If user passes infop == NULL,
sys_waitid() returns success. When user additionally specifies flag WNOWAIT,
sys_waitid() returns -EFAULT on the same conditions. When user combines
WNOWAIT with WCONTINUED, sys_waitid() again returns success.
This patch adds check for ->wo_info in wait_noreap_copyout().
User-visible change: starting from this commit, sys_waitid() always checks
infop != NULL and does not fail if it is NULL.
