This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled gtp: allow -1 to be specified as file description from userspace to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: gtp-allow-1-to-be-specified-as-file-description-from.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit d4a08e3d599fb56118de27499d2c6a4e0815e920 Author: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Oct 22 16:48:25 2024 +0200 gtp: allow -1 to be specified as file description from userspace [ Upstream commit 7515e37bce5c428a56a9b04ea7e96b3f53f17150 ] Existing user space applications maintained by the Osmocom project are breaking since a recent fix that addresses incorrect error checking. Restore operation for user space programs that specify -1 as file descriptor to skip GTPv0 or GTPv1 only sockets.
