Someone (of, I suspect, a Paulish nature) has plucked out the rcu parts of this patch, put them in linux-next and omitted the drivers/tty part. Very tricky! I have done the opposite and have staged two patches against linux-next: http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/sysrq-rcu-ify-__handle_sysrq.patch http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/sysrqrcu-suppress-rcu-stall-warnings-while-sysrq-runs.patch Please check, review, comment, etc. -- 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/
