The patch titled tty: pty: lookup retval fixup has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was tty-pty-lookup-retval-fixup.patch This patch was dropped because it was withdrawn The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: tty: pty: lookup retval fixup From: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@xxxxxxxxx> Make sure we fail on NULL return value possibly returned by master tty lookup. Convert NULL to ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) in ptm_unix98_lookup, since NULL is not captured by IS_ERR() in __tty_open.
