    rxrpc: bogus MSG_PEEK test in rxrpc_recvmsg() · 20187f9a

    [I would really like an ACK on that one from dhowells; it appears to be
    quite straightforward, but...]
    
    MSG_PEEK isn't passed to ->recvmsg() via msg->msg_flags; as the matter of
    fact, neither the kernel users of rxrpc, nor the syscalls ever set that bit
    in there.  It gets passed via flags; in fact, another such check in the same
    function is done correctly - as flags & MSG_PEEK.
    
    It had been that way (effectively disabled) for 8 years, though, so the patch
    needs beating up - that case had never been tested.  If it is correct, it's
    -stable fodder.
