[DragonFlyBSD - Bug #1390] (In Progress) Use id_t type for {get,set}priority()

[bugtracker-admin at leaf.dragonflybsd.org]

Issue #1390 has been updated by tuxillo.

Status changed from Feedback to In Progress

Hi,

As far as I could check NetBSD and OpenBSD use id_t for 'who' in their args struct. See here:

http://grok.qc.to/source/xref/netbsd/sys/sys/syscallargs.h#617
http://grok.qc.to/source/xref/openbsd/sys/sys/syscallargs.h#480

I'll change it to id_t for us too in master after the release.

Cheers,
Antonio Huete

Salute!

Both get- and set-priority() functions take a `who' argument that may refer to 
process ID, group ID or a user ID depending on the situation. The id_t type,
which is already available in our src tree, guarantees that it's large enough to
hold pid, gid, etc.

The attached patch replaces `int' with `id_t' wherever appropriate. I have done
a build{world,kernel} and install{world,kernel} and I don't broke anything. Plus
some test cases I have, continue to pass.

If anyone objects to this patch speak now or forever hold your peace!

Cheers,
Stathis
