Actually, sorry, it's already merged - http://www.kernel.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=976ecd12b8144d066a23fe97c6fbfc1ac8470af7 I don't personally run preempt so I don't know what badness you're seeing. Can you check whether your kernel has this patch applied, and if so provide a bug report so the problem can be analysed please? -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: 2.6 Serial core - 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/
