The patch titled
sock_register interface changes
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
sock_register-interface-changes.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: sock_register interface changes
From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@xxxxxxxx>
The sock_register() doesn't change the family, so the protocols can
define it read-only. No caller ever checks return value from sock_unregister()
