From 499eea6bf9c06df3bf4549954aee6fb3427946ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sasikantha babu Date: Thu, 31 May 2012 16:26:07 -0700 Subject: sethostname/setdomainname: notify userspace when there is a change in uts_kern_table sethostname() and setdomainname() notify userspace on failure (without modifying uts_kern_table). Change things so that we only notify userspace on success, when uts_kern_table was actually modified.
