Subject: uidgid: make uid_valid and gid_valid work with !CONFIG_MULTIUSER
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=929aa5b250bfc59aca492d3213c7f3a53e2a5247;p=linux-beck.git

uidgid: make uid_valid and gid_valid work with !CONFIG_MULTIUSER

{u,g}id_valid call {u,g}id_eq, which calls __k{u,g}id_val on both
arguments and compares.  With !CONFIG_MULTIUSER, __k{u,g}id_val return a
constant 0, which makes {u,g}id_valid always return false.  Change
{u,g}id_valid to compare their argument against -1 instead.  That produces
identical results in the normal CONFIG_MULTIUSER=y case, but with
!CONFIG_MULTIUSER will make {u,g}id_valid constant-fold into "return
true;" rather than "return false;".

This fixes uses of devpts without CONFIG_MULTIUSER.
