But for fixes like this, (or any patches that are not in the tree), you really need to resend the series. When Ingo posts patches to LKML on CFS, if there's a little fix like this, he'll add that to his next queue and repost. > > The above was emailed to Thomas, but I also sent you that link in IRC as > a link of patches to include ..

There wouldn't be if we didn't have to go looking for patches on patches that are out of the series. If you see that a series is broken, don't patch against it. Resend the series! Patches must be against upstream, unless they are more RFC (like what Gregory is doing). But when you want them to go upstream, they must be against upstream. I don't have the time to look for little fixes that you've done to your own patches that have not been pulled in yet. -- Steve - 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/
