Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 02/12] kmod - rename call_usermodehelper() flags parameter
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2015 10:45:03 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150317024502.24592.6486.stgit@pluto.fritz.box> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150317022308.24592.35785.stgit@pluto.fritz.box>
From: Ian Kent <ikent@redhat.com>
The wait parameter of call_usermodehelper() is not quite a parameter
that describes the wait behaviour alone and will later be used to
request execution within the current namespaces. This flag is tied
to the wait field of the subprocess_info structure which is also
a field that doesn't specify wait behaviour alone and is used to
hold the passed flags information.
So change both the parameter and structure field name to flags.
