Thanks! I have applied the patch to my queue

Why?

My impression is that this is a patch already in the tree, and it's
being submitted for -stable but such minor performance hacks are
absolutely not appropriate for -stable submission.

The patch description says it is fixing reported oopses, but the
Subject: isn't all that helpful there.

So which is this?  Should I accept it for a stable release or not?

thanks,
