Subject: wait_noreap_copyout(): check for ->wo_info != NULL
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b6fe2d117e98805ee76352e6468f87d494a97292;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

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.
