2.6.29-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Ilpo Jarvinen [ Upstream commit 775273131810caa41dfc7f9e552ea5d8508caf40 ] Commit 518a09ef11 (tcp: Fix recvmsg MSG_PEEK influence of blocking behavior) lets the loop run longer than the race check did previously expect, so we need to be more careful with this check and consider the work we have been doing. I tried my best to deal with urg hole madness too which happens here: if (!sock_flag(sk, SOCK_URGINLINE)) { ++*seq; ... by using additional offset by one but I certainly have very little interest in testing that part.
