Subject: [GIT PULL] brown paper bag fix for SIGPOLL si_codes


Linus,

Please pull the for-linus branch from the git tree:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace.git for-linus

HEAD: 54640d238760a1a54dfebe039b49682522100186 fcntl: Don't set si_code to SI_SIGIO when sig == SIGPOLL

When sorting out the si_code ambiguity fcntl I accidentally overshot and
included SIGPOLL as well. Ooops! This is my trivial fix for that.

Vince Weaver caught this when it landed in your tree with his
perf_event_tests many of which started failing because the si_code changed.

Subject: [PATCH] fcntl: Don't set si_code to SI_SIGIO when sig == SIGPOLL

When fixing things to avoid ambiguous cases I had a thinko
and included SIGPOLL/SIGIO in with all of the other signals
that have signal specific si_codes. Which is completely wrong.

Fix that.

I've tested with this patch applied and can confirm all of my tests now
pass again.

Thanks,

And in my tiredness and distractedness doing this on my honeymoon
I forgot to include:

Fixes: d08477aa975e ("fcntl: Don't use ambiguous SIG_POLL si_codes")

Not that there are any backport issues since all of this is new with
-rc1. But just in case someone needs the information for double
checking me.
