This is something we should do, but I have recollections of Russell identifying problems with this patch, or at least an earlier version of it?Basically, there's two patches. This one (let's call this patch A) and another to prevent users being surprised (let's call that patch B). I didn't have any real objections to patch A, provided something like patch B was merged. I did have objections against patch B, and I was intermittently working on a revised solution. However, for whatever reason [*], during the last merge window patch B got merged and patch A got dropped, and as a result I've now given up with my revised solution, and TBH, I no longer care.Patch B in this case was commit abb4a2390. Since that has already been merged, can we please merge this patch into 2.6.23? I'd really like to avoid 44x not working in yet another kernel, so if this patch can't be merged I'll have to come up with some alternate solution soon.I still have a large pile of not-completely-obviously-ready patches to go through, of which this is one. There _were_ issues with this patch when it first turned up, but I failed to record what they were.
Heh. Nor did I ever hear what they might be.
Oh well, here's hoping it got fixed. _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
