[PATCH] Create call_usermodehelper_pipe()
A new member in the ever growing family of call_usermode* functions is born. The new call_usermodehelper_pipe() function allows to pipe data to the stdin of the called user mode progam and behaves otherwise like the normal call_usermodehelp() (except that it always waits for the child to finish) Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
