From 1c9fec470b81ca5e89391c20a11ead31a1e9314b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2017 07:36:05 -0700 Subject: waitid(): Avoid unbalanced user_access_end() on access_ok() error As pointed out by Linus and David, the earlier waitid() fix resulted in a (currently harmless) unbalanced user_access_end() call. This fixes it to just directly return EFAULT on access_ok() failure.
