Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] net: Fix the condition passed to sk_wait_event()

Dave,
     Thinking more about it, we need to check for sk->sk_err, thus the 
existing code behaves fine. Just that we might incur an additional sleep
even while we know that the socket already has an error, but that should
be ok.
We only need the other patch. Pls ignore this, and sorry for the confusion.

Thanks,
Tomar
