The patch titled uml: fix infinite mconsole loop has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was uml-fix-infinite-mconsole-loop.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: uml: fix infinite mconsole loop From: Karol Swietlicki <magotari@xxxxxxxxx> This patch takes care of a problem with the stopping code. The function inside the while condition returns 0 to signify a problem. A problem could be for example a bad command or a bad version of the mconsole client. A bad command would terminate the stopping loop and resume the kernel. This is a problem. A better solution is to make the loop infinite and don't leave it until we are explicitly told to.
