Now for this patch. I noticed this issue when I was doing
negative testing from userspace via prctl and the return value
didn't match what was in the pcrtl man page.
Ahh, that's the bit of background I was looking for. Thanks for
that, and thanks for the patch!
Hey Dave, just to clarify, is there anything else here I need to do
for an ack, or can I consider this staged? I also sent out the prctl
changes this am, so you can see more of the context.
It's in my list of things to queue. I'll probably push it out in a day
or two.
I didn't see this queued, did I miss something? Thanks folks.
