Actually I'd probably send you a patch for any bug I found that triggered on sparc64, since that's faster than asking you to fix a bug that you are unlikely to be able to trigger on your own systems.
But that's just how I operate.
Ask Thomas Gleixner. Every single hrtimers/nohz bug I've found on sparc64, I sent him either a full fix or a full analysis of the bug and a description of exactly what is going on and what needs to be changed so he can compose the bug fix patch with minimal effort.
I don't ask people to revert, ever. It's never necessary when the parties involved are extremely competent and responsive. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
