Second, I don't think this patch is suitable for 3.11, as it has not seen much testing outside of one test program I had written. It's a long standing bug, so it isn't urgent to get the fix into the tree. That said, it did pass a few tests I ran last night, so it is probably suitable for the -next tree. As for patch 1, it looks okay to me, but will need Al Viro's signoff. -ben -- "Thought is the essence of where you are now." -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
