The quilt patch titled Subject: mm: mremap: fix sign for EFAULT error return value has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-mremap-fix-sign-for-efault-error-return-value.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mm-hotfixes-stable
------------------------------------------------------ From: Niels Dossche dossche.niels@gmail.com Subject: mm: mremap: fix sign for EFAULT error return value
The mremap syscall is supposed to return a pointer to the new virtual memory area on success, and a negative value of the error code in case of failure. Currently, EFAULT is returned when the VMA is not found, instead of -EFAULT. The users of this syscall will therefore believe the syscall succeeded in case the VMA didn't exist, as it returns a pointer to address 0xe (0xe being the value of EFAULT). Fix the sign of the error value.
