From 8043fc147a97ec2eefc582487f344f2cbe86d12e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2020 18:34:10 -0700 Subject: kernel: add a kernel_wait helper Add a helper that waits for a pid and stores the status in the passed in kernel pointer. Use it to fix the usage of kernel_wait4 in call_usermodehelper_exec_sync that only happens to work due to the implicit set_fs(KERNEL_DS) for kernel threads.
