Really it's a matter of frustration on my part. Where I submit patches that should be included , but they are ignored for no clear reason .. Then I submit again, and the patches are ignored again for no clear reason.. Comparing mainline and -rt isn't very interesting since , -rt has few patches sent in against it .. Andrew is bound to loose a patch here and there on accident, but -rt has so few patches sent in that we shouldn't be loosing any. > 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.

In all fairness you asked for links to patches, and that's is what I gave you .. > Patches must be against upstream, unless they are more RFC (like what > Gregory is doing).

Not sure what your getting at.. I specifically directed you to a patch. I don't think that means you had to look for it, all you have to do was include it ..
