There are quite a few of them, so instead of spamming the list, here's the URL: http://oss.oracle.com/~cel/linux-2.6/2.6.20-rc4/patches The BKL patches are numbered 052 through 138. I know there are a lot of these, but each is tiny, so we can use 'git bisect' easily to narrow down a problematic case. In addition, they are, by and large, not interdependent (although order is important) so you can apply a few of them from the series at a time, if that is desired. --------------000701090307000802070707 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=utf-8; name="chuck.lever.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="chuck.lever.vcf" YmVnaW46dmNhcmQNCmZuOkNodWNrIExldmVyDQpuOkxldmVyO0NodWNrDQpvcmc6T3JhY2xl IENvcnBvcmF0aW9uO0NvcnBvcmF0ZSBBcmNoaXRlY3R1cmUgTGludXggUHJvamVjdHMgR3Jv dXANCmVtYWlsO2ludGVybmV0OmNodWNrIGRvdCBsZXZlciBhdCBub3NwYW0gb3JhY2xlIGRv dCBjb20NCnRpdGxlOlByaW5jaXBsZSBNZW1iZXIgb2YgU3RhZmYNCnRlbDt3b3JrOisxIDI0 OCA2MTQgNTA5MQ0KeC1tb3ppbGxhLWh0bWw6RkFMU0UNCnZlcnNpb246Mi4xDQplbmQ6dmNh cmQNCg0K --------------000701090307000802070707 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
