Then your testing infrastructure is wrong. You need to do careful testing for every stable release, as we sometimes do "major" things in them (like rewrite the syscall path, no one noticed that...) Your testing framework should be the same for any kernel change, "major" or "minor". > It will happen somewhen in the next year anyway, a cherry-picked fix > could have been shipped now-ish. But it seems this is not an option. Feel free to take it for your own tree if you feel it is needed. thanks, greg k-h
