Hirofumi-san tells me we've missed the merge window for 2.6.31, so it seems that this will go first into the fatfs tree, then go into Linus's tree via -next for 2.6.32. So hopefully the patch will get some more testing (perhaps in -mm?) before it needs to be considered for -stable. Meanwhile some of the distros and other vendors might decide to apply it sooner depending on their level of legal concern. Cheers, Tridge
