It seems like that would make the first patch harder to review (since it won't just show the changes from kill_pid_info_as_uid to kill_pid_info_as_cred), but I'll go ahead and split it up. I assume kill_pid_info_as_uid should be removed in a third patch? > > --- a/drivers/usb/core/devio.c > > +++ b/drivers/usb/core/devio.c > > > @@ -393,9 +395,8 @@ static void async_compled ted(struct urb *urb) > > struct dev_state *ps = as->ps; > > struct siginfo sinfo; > > struct pid *pid = NULL; > > - uid_t uid = 0; > > - uid_t euid = 0; > > u32 secid = 0; > > + const struct cred *cred = NULL; > > int signr; > > > > spin_lock(&ps->lock); > > @@ -408,8 +409,7 @@ static void async_completed(struct urb *urb) > > sinfo.si_code = SI_ASYNCIO; > > sinfo.si_addr = as->userurb; > > pid = as->pid; > > - uid = as->uid; > > - euid = as->euid; > > + cred = as->cred; > > secid = as->secid; > > } > > snoop(&urb->dev->dev, "urb complete\n"); > > @@ -423,8 +423,7 @@ static void async_completed(struct urb *urb) > > spin_unlock(&ps->lock); > > > > if (signr) > > - kill_pid_info_as_uid(sinfo.si_signo, &sinfo, pid, uid, > > - euid, secid); > > + kill_pid_info_as_cred(sinfo.si_signo, &sinfo, pid, cred, secid); > > This continues a bug that already exists in the current code.
