If you wanted to suggest pushing these to 2.6.38 earlier, I don't think anyone would have disputed that -- I certainly wouldn't have since the first fixes a quite obvious panic that we've faced on a lot of our machines. It's not that big of a deal, though, since Andrew has targeted them for -stable and they're on schedule to be pushed to 2.6.38.x -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
