Description Andrew G. Morgan 2021-04-21 00:51:31 UTC

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=db2e718a47984b9d71ed890eb2ea36ecf150de18

I stumbled on the bug and reason for this patch in December. I've been waiting for this to be fixed in the kernel to add a regression test for it. Now that the fix is in, I should remember to do that.

Added a stand alone tests/uns_test.c for this bug as part of this CL:

I'll make a 2.60 release before including its execution in quicktest.sh
