The patch titled Fix getdelays.c - cpumask length and error reporting has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is fix-getdelaysc-cpumask-length-and-error-reporting.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Fix getdelays.c - cpumask length and error reporting From: Balbir Singh <balbir@xxxxxxxxxx> Fix the length passed while (un)registering cpumask. We were passing sizeof the array, make it strlen(). Error value printed in fatal errors should be derived from the message. The message contains an nlmsgerr embedded with an error value. We must report that value to the user.
