Subject: [PATCH 21/28] HOTPLUG: Hack to allow for call to execve
Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2004 10:49:10 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1098715750856@sun.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <10987157204162@sun.com>
This patch is a hack while we don't have a proper way for code to call
execve. It simply introduces call_usermodehelper_execve(path, argv, envp)
that call the execve syscall with an errno set.
We need to figure out a proper way for code to call execve!
