Subject: Re: [REGRESSION] x86 vmalloc issue from recent 3.10.0+ commit
Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2013 13:27:36 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAJzLF9=vWCd2JZTNG0dX4YmLAc=B05x-+bZgU0RaSZCaR5D38g@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Thanks.  I'll re-review this, anyway, and re-bisect if time allows.
The kernel/SGI-XFS combo pulled last night did much better in this
regard.  The problem is down to a different and single backtrace about
vmalloc, and the PC is controllable now.  The old git was moved to a
different folder, though, in case it's still needed.
