It has patch, just Len doesn't seem to... don't know, read the topic?
http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/29082/

Can we ping Len somehow to push this patch directly to Linus's tree?

I'm not seeing any linux-acpi emails from Len since August 14.

So I merged this patch and shall send it along with

thermal_sys-check-get_temp-return-value.patch
acpi-dont-call-acpi_processor_init-if-acpi-is-disabled.patch

in to Linus today.

Thanks for that Andrew. Could you please do the same for my patches in
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13389 (or
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/8/17/169)?

That BR is on the regression list for 2.6.30. The patches apply cleanly to 
current mainline.

Thanks,

OK, shall do, thanks.



These patches make rather a big mess in linux-next.

Rusty's strangely-named patch:

commit 6949d7cbb26476cbf1ee7b45ac74faacc9eb7cdf
Author:     Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
AuthorDate: Thu Aug 13 10:26:38 2009 +1000
Commit:     Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>
CommitDate: Thu Aug 13 10:26:38 2009 +1000

    misc:work_on_cpu-acpi

is now in the acpi tree.  It changes the throttling code so that
set/get_throttling is performed via smp_call_function_single() rather
than via cpumask fiddling.

So in my tree I reworked it so that the new `force' arg gets passed
through appropriately.  It compiles cleanly but I'd suggest that Len
simply drop "misc:work_on_cpu-acpi" and we send it back to Rusty for
some rechecking (sorry).

Rusty/Len: please work out why the title for that patch went silly.

Rusty, please self-administer smackings for

		struct set_throttling_info sti
			= { pr, p_throttling, t_state.target_state };

these things always start out simple and end up not-simple, so some poor
schmuck has to clean them up so stuff doesn't break.

		struct set_throttling_info sti = {
			.pr = pr,
			.p_throttling = p_throttling,
			.target_state = t_state.target_state,
			.force = force
		};

is better!

Sure.  My main motivation is to get rid of cpumasks on the stack; while
there, I tried to fix this up properly.

> Rusty/Len: please work out why the title for that patch went silly.

git-quiltimport uses the patch names, and doesn't extract the title.  I
assume that's what Stephen uses.  I didn't rename the patch when I rewrote
it not to use work_on_cpu.

Meh... same concept applies to function arguments, and we rely on typechecking
to catch that (though we have little choice in C).

OK, I've dropped these from my tree entirely to avoid more problems.

Can you take them?  They're not really at home in my tree.

arch-x86-kernel-acpi-cstatec-avoid-using-work_on_cpu.patch
misc:work_on_cpu-acpi.patch
misc:work_on_cpu-acpi-fix.patch
misc:work_on_cpu-dcdbas.patch

You can fetch them from http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/kernel/rr-latest/

(You'll want to rename the last three something sane...)

Thanks,
Rusty.

git quiltimport assumes "mail-like" patches, so it looks for "From:" and
"Subject:" lines.  I guess it could be made to use the first line of the
patch if there is no subject ...

My scripts should all handle Subject: prefixes, I can just start using that.

Thanks,
Rusty.

Those patches are already in today's linux-next so I can't carry them.

Please email them over in the traditional fashion once that situation
has sorted itself out?

I have updated the bug entry, hopefully Len will notice it now.
