Can't apply this patch, I guess -mm tree has other changes which
this patch depends on. However afaics this series is fine, just
a couple of nits.

OK, we add *data. But why this patch changes the prototype of ->cleanup() ?
OTOH, I completely agree, it should be changed, and it should lose the
ugly argv/envp arguments.

Since we add subprocess_info->data ptr, I think both ->init and ->cleanup
funcs should have the single arg, "subprocess_info *info". argv, envp, data
they all can be accessed via *info.

Also. It is not clear why this patch changes call_usermodehelper_setup()
to set info->data. Unless the caller uses call_usermodehelper_setinit()
or call_usermodehelper_setcleanup() info->data is not used. Perhaps
it is better to have a single helper which takes (init, cleanup, data)
args.

What do you think?

In any case, I believe you should fix the subjects ;)

Oleg.
