[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: selftests/mm: fix read_file() return value check
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     selftests-mm-fix-read_file-return-value-check.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: selftests/mm: fix read_file() return value check
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2026 09:35:55 +0800

read_file() returns 0 on open/read failures and never returns negative
values.  Existing < 0 error checks never trigger, so read failures are
silently ignored.  Check for zero return to detect read_file() failures.

Also fix misleading error message in get_finfo().  The error string
incorrectly references read_num when reading uevent files.
