Is this really needed? For the large majority of the stable patches, specifically enumerating this isn't a big deal, it's a tiny patch, and if you think I'll remember to tell you which specific clause you didn't follow, then you think I have more spare time than I really do. Sorry, but no, I don't think this patch is ok, especially that S15 clause, nice try :) greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
