The patch titled uml: make 64-bit COW files compatible with 32-bit ones has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is uml-make-64-bit-cow-files-compatible-with-32-bit-ones.patch This patch was probably dropped from -mm because it has now been merged into a subsystem tree or into Linus's tree, or because it was folded into its parent patch in the -mm tree. From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@xxxxxxxx> This is the minimal fix to make 64-bit UML binaries create 32-bit compatible COW files and read them. I've indeed tested that current code doesn't do this - the code gets SIGFPE for a division by a value read at the wrong place, where 0 is found.
