Subject: [PATCH 6/6] call_usermodehelper: UMH_WAIT_EXEC ignores kernel_thread() failure
Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2010 20:49:11 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100315194911.GG10896@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100315194609.GA10896@redhat.com>

UMH_WAIT_EXEC should report the error if kernel_thread() fails, like
UMH_WAIT_PROC does.
