IMHO, your 6 patch series should go to stable as well. Scalability is still BAD without them. Now, you've shown the lock split to be buggy. Logically, the whole thing should be reverted entirely in stable, or fixed up properly. Humongous improvements will find their way into every long term stable kernel on the planet regardless, so.. Stable may as well do the Borg thing, resistance really is futile ;-) -Mike -- 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/
