As the kernel generally uses negated error numbers, *err needs to be compared with -EAGAIN (d'oh). Signed-off-by: Rainer Weikusat <redacted> Fixes: ea3793ee29d3Improperly formatted Fixes: tag, you must also include the commit header line, in parenthesis and double quotes, after the SHA_ID. Futhermore this is the wrong SHA_ID.

displays the commit I was referring to, namely, the one containing this
+ timeo = sock_rcvtimeo(sk, flags & MSG_DONTWAIT);
+
+ do {
+ skb = __skb_try_recv_datagram(sk, flags, peeked, off, err,
+ &last);
+ if (skb)
+ return skb;
+
+ if (*err != EAGAIN)
+ break;
+ } while (timeo &&
+ !__skb_wait_for_more_packets(sk, err, &timeo, last));
which added the inverted test, IOW, if this is the wrong hash, I have no
idea what the right one could be. I'll resubmit this with the 'one line
summary' added. After noticing the issue around 23:10 UK time yesterday,
I was in a bit of a hurry and stopped reading the 'Fixes' text in
SubmittingPatches after the "with the first 12 characters".
