Looks good, we should queue it up for the next release (at 100 patches,
this one looks pretty full...)

OK, but if at all possible please squeeze it in in .2. I copied stable twice I
think during the discussion about this regression which was almost one month
ago now.

Yes, but you never provided the git commit id of the patch that is in
Linus's tree to us. Without that, knowing what to add to the -stable
tree is pretty much impossible, given our current workload of the
-stable queue.

Please make it very easy on us, we are slow :)

OK, will keep that in mind in the future. This is the first time I am trying
to get something into stable so I didn't know the right process. I assumed it
is enough to copy [email protected] with anything resembling a regression fix
and you diligent people take care of it. Will do better if another
opportunity arises.

Thanks,

I like the optimism ;-) Thanks for Cc'ing stable (I know I actually
checked for the resolution, and at the time it simply wasn't resolved yet).

thanks,
