Narayanan reported that the patch I sent worked, but it wasn't in the push to Linus you just sent. I'm not quite sure whether 'fairly immediately' meant 'for 2.6.29' or 'for 2.6.30', so I don't know whether this was an oversight or an intentional omission. In case it was the former, I'm alerting you to it ;-) -- Matthew Wilcox Intel Open Source Technology Centre "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this operating system, but compare it to ours.
