Also, Thomas pointed out that the entire fix might be too large for this late in the -rc cycle. Thus we may want to merge only the first two patches as the "simple fix" which will avoid the major problems seen for 3.5, and then leave the last four patches, which really enforce correctness, for 3.6 merge window (backporting variants to -stable). But I'll leave that to Thomas/Ingo/Linus to decide. thanks -john -- 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/
