The patch titled ISDN: correctly handle isdn_writebuf_stub() errors has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is isdn-unsafe-interaction-between-isdn_write-and-isdn_writebuf_stub.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: ISDN: correctly handle isdn_writebuf_stub() errors From: Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@xxxxxxxxx> isdn_writebuf_stub() forgets to detect memory allocation and uaccess errors. And when that's fixed, if a error happens the caller will just keep on looping. So change the caller to detect the error, and to return it.
