3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Vladimir Davydov <[email protected]> commit 69828dce7af2cb6d08ef5a03de687d422fb7ec1f upstream. Sending SI_TKILL from rt_[tg]sigqueueinfo was deprecated, so now we issue a warning on the first attempt of doing it. We use WARN_ON_ONCE, which is not informative and, what is worse, taints the kernel, making the trinity syscall fuzzer complain false-positively from time to time. It does not look like we need this warning at all, because the behaviour changed quite a long time ago (2.6.39), and if an application relies on the old API, it gets EPERM anyway and can issue a warning by itself. So let us zap the warning in kernel. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Davydov <[email protected]> Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov <[email protected]> Cc: Richard Weinberger <[email protected]> Cc: "Paul E.
