From b6fe2d117e98805ee76352e6468f87d494a97292 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vitaly Mayatskikh Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:56:52 -0700 Subject: wait_noreap_copyout(): check for ->wo_info != NULL 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.
