They just push patches into their kernel and never give them back to upstream or make sure they get merged into bluetooth-next. I really dislike that behavior. It is always the easy way out instead of trying to do the right thing. >>> >> >> See this page: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1065400 > > It is a stupid userspace version that is racy as hell. Even the bug mentions that it should be done in the kernel. And I am pretty sure that was my initial comment as well. Just posting the userspace patch for reference. No it's not the stupid userspace loader you're referring to. And no, these patches are not pushed into Ubuntu kernel only. These stupid patches were sent to this mailing list for review, for three or four times, and all of them were rejected by you. The latest version of patches that got rejected should be quite similar to Petri's. Regards, Jesse
