Could you please explain the algorithm you use to pick up patches for
the v3.8 stable series? I'm mostly interested how you ended up with
commit 98aab898043fdc0f63621dae282fb5448fc39f9a

net/core/sock.c: add missing VSOCK string in af_family_*_key_strings
[ Upstream commit 456db6a4d495f40777da6f1f32f62f13026f52db ]
in your tree. It is not really valid. If you have no idea why this is
bogus since Greg applied it to v3.9 tree and nobody complained there I
suggest a think tank. If it does not help here are two hints:
- VSOCK is not part of the v3.8 kernel
- gcc throws out a few warnings after the patch has been applied.
And? Got it?
regards MK
