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
