I found a bug that appears to be simple to fix.  I assume I am missing
something.

here is a link to the bug description:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12665

the man page for the function in the bug report mentions that linux does
not impliment the desired functionality


It seems like it is accepted as working the way it does, and at the same
time it is reported in bugzilla as a current bug.


What am I missing?
