Please send -stable patches to stable@kernel.org, not to me directly (we are a team and hand off ownership to each other, by sending it to the alias it makes sure that nothing gets lots in our individual mail boxes.) Also, please let stable know when this is upstream, we don't want to apply it before then. thanks, greg k-h - 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/
