If Jeff is worried about these patches destabilizing UML you can held them out for now (but keep in -mm for 2.6.20), that's absolutely fine for me; however there are a few real bug fixes for error paths and IMHO they are safe enough to merge. > "[PATCH 03/11] uml ubd driver: var renames" didn't apply due to > dummy_device_release not being present, which doesn't inspire confidence. > What tree are you patching? It's just git HEAD, but earlier little patches cause that conflict. I am sure that the obvious fixup is correct. I just gave a look to that hunk in the addition log and it looks ok. -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
