Subject: [PATCH] fork: fix pidfd_poll()'s return type

pidfd_poll() is defined as returning 'unsigned int' but the
.poll method is declared as returning '__poll_t', a bitwise type.

Fix this by using the proper return type and using the EPOLL
constants instead of the POLL ones, as required for __poll_t.

Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks.

This only misses two tags:

Fixes: b53b0b9d9a61 ("pidfd: add polling support")
Cc: [email protected] # 5.3

Can you add these two tags to the commit message for v1 and resend with
[email protected] Cced, please?

Otherwise:

Applied to
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux.git/log/?h=fixes

Will likely send this as a fix for v5.4 still so stable only has to
backport this to 5.3 and not 5.4 too.

Thanks!
