4.3-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 41a0c249cb8706a2efa1ab3d59466b23a27d0c8b upstream.
Writing to /proc/$pid/coredump_filter always returns -ESRCH because commit
774636e19ed51 ("proc: convert to kstrto*()/kstrto*_from_user()") removed
the setting of ret after the get_proc_task call and incorrectly left it as
-ESRCH. Instead, return 0 when successful.
Example breakage:
echo 0 > /proc/self/coredump_filter
bash: echo: write error: No such process
Fixes: 774636e19ed51 ("proc: convert to kstrto*()/kstrto*_from_user()")
