Subject: [GIT PULL] s390 regression patch for 3.8-rc8
Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:49:43 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130211144943.69c83140@mschwide> (raw)
Hi Linus,
please pull from the 'for-linus' branch of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux.git for-linus
to receive the following updates:
The recent fix for the s390 sched_clock() function uncovered yet
another bug in s390_next_ktime which causes an endless loop in KVM.
This regression should be fixed before v3.8.
I keep the fingers crossed that this is the last one for v3.8.
