From 876dcf2f3aaa0f68d437b368b93a4c4b81521191 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Olivier Brunel Date: Sat, 20 Oct 2018 19:39:56 +0200 Subject: umh: Add command line to user mode helpers User mode helpers were spawned without a command line, and because an empty command line is used by many tools to identify processes as kernel threads, this could cause some issues. Notably during killing spree on shutdown, since such helper would then be skipped (i.e. not killed) which would result in the process remaining alive, and thus preventing unmouting of the rootfs (as experienced with the bpfilter umh).
