He will most likely include the patch in scsi-rc-fixes-2.6, which will merge into one of the 2.6.33-rc? phases. I assume the process, to get it into an already released kernel rev, is to petition the 2.6.-stable tree maintainer (usually GregKH) to pick it up. You do need to be careful, as some changes are dependent on other things that may have changed since that kernel revision. However, I don't think this change would have that problem. -- james s Gal Rosen wrote: > James, > > What is the process until it will enter to the code ? > and for what version 2.6.26 or 2.6.33 ? > > Thanks, > Gal. > On Fri, 2010-01-22 at 21:00 -0500, James Smart wrote: >> Gal, >> >> Thanks for correcting this issue.
