I am separating the code specific to user mode drivers from the code for ordinary user space helpers. Move setting of PF_UMH from call_usermodehelper_exec_async which is core user mode helper code into umh_pipe_setup which is user mode driver code. The code is equally as easy to write in one location as the other and the movement minimizes the impact of the user mode driver code on the core of the user mode helper code. Setting PF_UMH unconditionally is harmless as an action will only happen if it is paired with an entry on umh_list. v1: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/87bll6gf8t.fsf_-_@x220.int.ebiederm.org v2: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/87zh8l63xs.fsf_-_@x220.int.ebiederm.org Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200702164140.4468-2-ebiederm@xmission.com Reviewed-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Acked-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Tested-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
