The bsg sense handling bug fix, is I think, a security breach in that Kernel copies dangling Kernel stack back to user-mode. It might even need a stable release. At the time I was thinking that since bsg is marked EXPERIMENTAL in Kconfig then it must not be included in distro's Kernels by default, but Benny noted that it is included in Fedora since FC8 or FC9. The patch I sent still applies I think? Thanks Boaz
