From c70a626d3eba373514c72287c93588b6974a0059 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 26 May 2010 14:43:01 -0700 Subject: umh: creds: kill subprocess_info->cred logic Now that nobody ever changes subprocess_info->cred we can kill this member and related code. ____call_usermodehelper() always runs in the context of freshly forked kernel thread, it has the proper ->cred copied from its parent kthread, keventd.
