The patch is a bug fix for the mmap_sem/i_mutex locking problem that has existed for a quite a while. (The previous version of the patch has been waiting since January to be Acked.) The current version of the patch applies cleanly to both your #master and #next trees. As it hasn't been in linux-next, I'll leave it to your discretion how/when to upstream it. thanks, Mimi -- 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/
