I'll start arguing with people to make sure bugfixes start moving and cleanups start waiting. Paul, please remove akpm from the cc: list in future replies until we have come to a consensus and get this nailed down (hopefully ASAP) to a coherent cross-vendor story. What I believe I have sent is the bare minimum change, with no cleanups or semantic changes. If you could review and/or send approval or the like that would be very helpful for the users of small SMP systems who are affected by the bug(s) you reported. -- wli - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
