2.6.27-rc1-git4: Reported regressions from 2.6.26

Rafael J. Wysocki
2008-08-02T17:59:41Z

[Note that all of the suspend/resume regressions seem to result from the same
couple of bugs, or even one bug, but since that has not been confirmed yet,
they are listed separately.

Bug submitters also please note that if you CC your reports to
kernel-testers-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org, they will be _much_ easier to track for me
and pretty much everybody else.]

This message contains a list of some regressions from 2.6.26, for which there
are no fixes in the mainline I know of. If any of them have been fixed already,
please let me know.

If you know of any other unresolved regressions from 2.6.26, please let me know
either and I'll add them to the list. Also, please let me know if any of the
entries below are invalid.

Each entry from the list will be sent additionally in an automatic reply to
this message with CCs to the people involved in reporting and handling the
issue.
