The timing is of course problematic. One approach could be to merge it into 2.6.19-early, backport into 2.6.18.x after a few weeks. I don't know if that's a lot better, really - it's unlikely that anyone will be running serious performance testing against 2.6.19-rc1 or -rc2. I'm struggling to understand how serious this really is - if the bug is "longstanding" then very few machines must be encountering it? - 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/
