Well, it ought to be documented somehow, especially if the syscall parameter will be added back, as there could be situation where application gets successful return code for the call non-zero value of the second argument and gets no signals as it is the one of the kernel releases where this parameter was removed. I can update the patch to reflect this once the patch that returns the second argument reaches the kernel tree. -- Eugene Syromyatnikov mailto:evgsyr@xxxxxxxxx xmpp:esyr@jabber.{ru|org} -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-s390" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
