Yes, I think this is true after I re-checked the code.



One more nit. With this patch call_usermodehelper_fns() does

info = call_usermodehelper_setup(path, argv, envp, gfp_mask);

call_usermodehelper_setfns(info, init, cleanup, data);

info->timeout = timeout;

We have 2 (static!) helpers to initialize info, yet we initialize
->timeout by hand. Of course I do not blame this patch, but imho
this looks a bit messy and deserves another minor cleanup.

Oleg.
