Is this bug present in 2.6.37 and earlier? If so, should we fix it in those kernels? OK, earlier kernels do need fixing. Hopefully you included "Cc: " in the changelog which we weren't shown. That patch adds a new sysfs file but doesn't alter any documentation file for it. -- 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/
