Here's the observed bug that the patch is trying to fix: http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4041 What Marcos posted is a typo-corrected version of Eric Biederman's patch: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=110665542929525&w=2 In Eric's own words, the patch "needs some work before it goes into a mainline kernel". AFAICT it's more of a proof-of-concept, just to see if Eric's on the right track... This is the motivation behind the patch: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=110665405402747&w=2 -Barry K.
