SubjectRe: [PATCH 2.6.13-stable] cpuset semaphore double trip fix
> Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt 

Aha - that's the stable documentation that I missed. Thanks, Randy.

I figured that there was an explanation somewhere. And there it is,
right in plain view.

Reading ...

My patch does pass the following criteria:

- No "theoretical race condition" issues, unless an explanation of how
the race can be exploited.

The conditions to trigger the race are too delicate to exploit
quickly. I don't have a coded exploit.

Apparently I did the right thing by _not_ sending this patch to
stable@kernel.org <grin>.

This patch is dead.
