Greg,

I wasn't aware of that constraint in the process, but it makes sense to
me.


Mauro,

My understanding is that the patch has to be in one of your trees first,
and then tested in linux-next for a reasonable length of time, before
Linus will pull it into his tree.

Could you please expedite handling of this patch for 2.6.37:

	https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/376612/

so that the regression can be fixed in 2.6.36?

Regards,
Andy
