Name: exec_usermodehelper sucks Author: Rusty Russell, Marcel Holtmann Status: Tested on 2.5.54

D: Urban Widmark points out that modprobe calls system() in many D: configurations, which drops privs since request_module() doesn't D: doesn't set ruid and rguid. D: D: This gets rid of exec_usermodehelper and makes everyone use D: call_usermodehelper, which has a new "wait" flag.
