From 929aa5b250bfc59aca492d3213c7f3a53e2a5247 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Triplett Date: Thu, 14 May 2015 15:17:01 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
