Commit d22a6966b8029913fac37d078ab2403898d94c63 (iommu sg merging: add accessors for segment_boundary_mask in device_dma_parameters()) introduces the dma_get_seg_boundary accessor which is used in the *preceding* commits fb3475e9b6bfa666107512fbd6006c26014f04b8 (for powerpc), and 1b39b077789955c8389488d53d075518fdcd582e and fde9a1094ddf2892188a8a0eccda527de47cba8e (for x86). Thus we have another set of commits that will break bisection. This one was easily avoidable. A little more care is needed. --=20 Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/ --Signature=_Wed__6_Feb_2008_09_38_17_+1100_qcvXW_Dt3wt6/Law Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHqOVfTgG2atn1QN8RApnhAJ9JDaqyzpZRgFr9CWlH6iW3iHVznQCeOnQq L8OdujKvKg7ZcdXImyxeJL0= =shtE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature=_Wed__6_Feb_2008_09_38_17_+1100_qcvXW_Dt3wt6/Law-- -- 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/
