The patch titled uml: fix recvmsg return value checking has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was uml-fix-recvmsg-return-value-checking.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: uml: fix recvmsg return value checking From: Jeff Dike <jdike@xxxxxxxxxxx> Stupid bug - we need to compare the return value of recvmsg to the value of iov_len, not its size. This caused port_helper processes not to be killed on shutdown on x86_64 because the pids weren't being passed out properly.
