All the contributors to 2.6.27.8 are known by name & address, and they hopefully remember what they put into .8 and can quickly tell whether there is a chance that it could have something to do with Samba going into an unkillable busy loop. So, in case of a bug report which even includes a potential way to reproduce the issue on generic hardware with common tools, "Could you bisect? Meanwhile, let's Cc netdev." sounds better to me than "Please bisect." -- Stefan Richter -=====-==--- ==-- -=--- http://arcgraph.de/sr/ -- 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/
