Patches for these are posted on linux-kernel but they aren't made available on kernel.org until the next -mm release. Would it be possible to create a hotfix/ directory for each -mm release and put those patches there? A README could explain that the fixes are untested. At least people reading the files could see an issue exists even if they're not brave enough to try the patch. :) -- Chuck - 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/
