| |
Here are some sysfs fixes for 2.6.22-rc4
They are based on a set of patches from Tejun that have been in the -mm tree for a while and fix a nasty sysfs problem that people have been hitting in the real world (Google has hit this a lot and spent a lot of time and effort in tracking this down, I'd really like to say thanks for the help here.)
Tejun and Eric have backported a small set of patches that fix this for your current tree, with the larger, more intrusive patches queued up for after 2.6.22 is out.
Tejun and I have beat on these patches a lot and have not found any problems. I know it's late in the series for them, but under the circumstances, it seems reasonable.
Please pull from: master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-2.6.git/
Patches will be sent as a follow-on to this message to lkml for people to see.
thanks,
greg k-h
