Lots of code looks totally reasonable to a kernel coder, except it doesn't actually work when run, or doesn't actually build for a common architecture. Let's face it - if I hit a bug on my Dell Latitude in a -mm kernel, our current depth of testers means that I'm probably the only person who's likely to test the fix before it goes uptream to Linus as a "probably works". --==_Exmh_1180812889_4213P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFGYcZZcC3lWbTT17ARAkVtAJ4j99xpJ5jrdCBFcGERZDwSlHBI/QCfa4Re xF0KyVhmxbx2Wckmvdjhbb8= =p2Es -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1180812889_4213P-- - 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/
