Hi Borislav, This fixes a bug present in kernels today. Until we have an ETA for Ingo's stuff to get merged, I'd really hope you can consider taking bugfixes like these. BTW, I didn't really expect you to pull this in directly. I think it's easier if the entire MPX set is pulled in at once. Otherwise, the x86 maintainers will have to drop this from the set before merging, and it might not be 100% obvious how this patch got merged via another route. -- 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/
