Just so no one gets their GPL bent out of shape.... the source code to

http://zambezi.cs.ucdavis.edu/~mark/fhandler_socket.cc
And as Chris said -- this is a "fix", not a patch. As I said in my first
message, one of the folks who really knows the kernel should really
figure out a patch that maintains semantic correctness.
