Sorry for wasting your time. I think you have been right with your report. The above pasted before/after from the patch commit text is actually a result of real testing with current git. And your initial description sounds right, and the patch seems to produce the expected results here. I just confused the numbers in your report and wrongly parsed 2.6 > 3.6. Hmm, at least do far we did not blame anybody else than ourselves as confused. One of us at least is right, and it looks you have been, and I also think the patch is at least intended to be right. :) Kay -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
