This is the updated patch that apply's to the stable-2.6.32 tree. How nice, but why didn't you say so in the first place? Am I really supposed to remember the hundreds of stable patches I handle every week? Oh, I need the git commit id of it as well, care to resend this with that and the proper "please apply this for the .32 longterm tree" message so I can? If so, I'll queue it up for the after-next .32-longterm release. thanks, greg k-h
