Re: [PATCH 1/5] Split wait_noreap_copyout()

Hi, Andrew!

Can you, please, update description of
wait_task_-cleanups-split-wait_noreap_copyout.patch?

New description:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Move getrusage() and put_user() code from wait_noreap_copyout()
to copy_wait_opts_to_user(). The same code is spreaded across all
wait_task_*() routines, it's better to reuse one copy.

User visible change: previously, waitid() was doing unconditional
put_user() in wait_noreap_copyout(), and was returning EFAULT
if infop pointer, provided by user, was NULL *and* WCONTINUED was not
set in options. Now all variants of wait() function use the same generic
copy_wait_opts_to_user(), and, thus, have the same behaviour regarding
to filling of siginfo structure. Starting from this commit waitid()
returns NULL if infop argument is NULL.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks!
