McKenney <paulmck@...ux.vnet.ibm.com> Ah, so we found and fixed these ? Linus, those bugs are actually a regression from when we didn't use the new timer code (which isn't that long ago). It would be nice to have the fixes in .27 (and thus in the various distros that will derive from it) but I would understand if the size of the patch made you choke that late in the -rc cycle... In which case we'll be in for more backports :-) Cheers, Ben. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
