Merge tag 'for-linus-20190730' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux
Pull pidfd fixes from Christian Brauner: "This makes setting the exit_state in exit_notify() consistent after fixing the pidfd polling race pre-rc1. Related to the race fix, this adds a WARN_ON() to do_notify_pidfd() to catch any future exit_state races. Last, this removes an obsolete comment from the pidfd tests" * tag 'for-linus-20190730' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: exit: make setting exit_state consistent pidfd: Add warning if exit_state is 0 during notification pidfd: remove obsolete comments from test
