The patch titled wait_task_stopped(): pass correct exit_code to wait_noreap_copyout() has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is wait_task_stopped-pass-correct-exit_code-to.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: wait_task_stopped(): pass correct exit_code to wait_noreap_copyout() From: Scott James Remnant <scott@xxxxxxxxxx> In wait_task_stopped() exit_code already contains the right value for the si_status member of siginfo, and this is simply set in the non WNOWAIT case. Pass it unchanged to wait_noreap_copyout(); we would only need to shift it and add 0x7f if we were returning it in the user status field and that isn't used for any function that permits WNOWAIT.
