I've not found a much smaller set that isn't rootable, trivially DoSable with published tools or leaves users with non-working hardware that got pulled by Linus having a random pissy fit about pwc etc. -ac is essentially base security fixes + working IDE locking + pwc + fixes for the bugs everyone hit that needed fixing urgently. I consider working locking on my storage essential because I like my data to still be there. -as is similar although it makes different choices about what matters. Given 3 or 4 people it ought to be possible to make a much much tighter patch set for this purpose. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
