I was surprised to find it in, after I had written
============ Date: Sat, 30 Apr 2005 21:58:07 +0200
For the time being, although I do not object to the patch, obviously, since it is my own, I cannot see any reason to add it to the "fixed" release. ============
but maybe including it was done by mistake? It wasn't mentioned, I think, in the changelog.
There was a report that it fixed an oops, but the report is unconfirmed and ununderstood.
Should it be backed out of 2.6.11.8? Possibly - but if it will be part of 2.6.12 or 2.6.13 then I would be inclined to leave it.
Andrew asks whether it should be removed from -mm. Will first read all my mail and then reply to that letter. Maybe you should coordinate with Andrew and take the same decision.
