The quilt patch titled
     Subject: liveupdate: propagate file deserialization failures
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was

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

luo_session_deserialize() ignored the return value from
luo_file_deserialize().  As a result, a session could be left partially
restored even though the /dev/liveupdate open path treats deserialization
failures as fatal.

Propagate the error so a failed file deserialization aborts session
deserialization instead of silently continuing.
