Delaying it a little is probably ok, but weigh that against the frequency/severity of the problem that Pavel's fix addresses: ie sequential writes to some versions of Windows 7 and Windows Vista can fail partway through large file copy (which also causes those servers to become unresponsive to subsequent connection requests as well) so the fix does address a hot problem. -- Thanks, Steve -- 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/
