[PATCH 1/1] __send_signal: pass q->info, not info, touserns_fixup_signal_uid (v2)
From: Serge Hallyn
Date: Fri Nov 18 2011 - 19:42:10 EST
Eric Biederman pointed out that passing info is a bug and could lead
to a NULL pointer deref to boot.
A collection of signal, securebits, filecaps, cap_bounds, and a few other ltp
tests passed with this kernel.
Changelog:
Nov 18: previous patch missed a leading '&'
