[Greg KH]

This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 2.6.35.1 release.
There are 38 patches in this series, all will be posted as a response to
this one.  If anyone has any issues with these being applied, please let
us know.  If anyone is a maintainer of the proper subsystem, and wants
to add a Signed-off-by: line to the patch, please respond with it.

Responses should be made by August 8, 2010, 18:00:00 UTC.
Anything received after that time might be too late.

The whole patch series can be found in one patch at:
	kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/stable-review/patch-2.6.35.1-rc1.gz
and the diffstat can be found below.

thanks,

As it just landed in Linus's tree about an hour ago, it was a bit late
for this release.

I'll queue it up for the next .35 release after this one.

Which exact patch that is in Linus's tree fixes the problem?  Do you
have the git commit id of it?  That's what I need here.
