Since we are on this subject,
LTP af_alg02  test case fails on stable 4.9 and stable 4.4
This is not a regression because the test case has been failing from
the beginning.

Is this test case expected to fail on stable 4.9 and 4.4 ?
or any chance to fix this on these older branches ?

Test output:
af_alg02.c:52: BROK: Timed out while reading from request socket.

Actually this test really is broken.

FWIW the patch "umh: fix processed error when UMH_WAIT_PROC is used" was
dropped from linux-next for now as it was missing checking for signals.
I'll be open coding iall checks for each UMH_WAIT_PROC callers next. Its
not clear if this was the issue with this test case, but figured I'd let
you know.
