Well I was just assuming that cause as I looked at thread display in my mail appliation, there was a mail from Jens with a question without an answer mail to it. But it was also just about backporting to Linux stable. I would be happy to see it accepted for vanilla/master already. > I admit I've lost enthusiasm for endless follow-up when a maintainer > just won't take a patch.

From my experience regarding flexible I/O tester he normal accepts reasonable patches. But I'd also consider the patch submitted as reasonable. So maybe he just forgot to put it in. > If someone else wants to take that patch and give it a fresh try, I'm > OK with that. I see.

Would really be nice to have this settled. Thanks, -- Martin
