Subject: [GIT PULL] futex fixlet
Date: Thu, 29 Dec 2011 22:07:07 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111229210707.GA22300@elte.hu> (raw)

Linus,

Please pull the latest core-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git core-urgent-for-linus

Please have a good look at it - it was probably not tested
by everyone with the usual vigor, due to holiday excesse^W 
festivities.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
