...thanks. I do get the impression that most of this can/should wait until 2.6.25. The patches look quite dangerous.
.. I confess to not really trying hard to understand everything in this thread, but the implication seems to be that this bug might affect udelay() and possibly jiffies ? If so, then fixing it has to be a *must* for 2.6.24, as otherwise we'll get all sorts of one-in-while odd driver bugs.. like maybe these two for starters: [Bug 9492] 2.6.24: false double-clicks from USB mouse [Bug 9489] 20000+ wake-ups/second in 2.6.24 Neither of which happens often enough to explain or debug, but either of which *could* be caused by some weird jiffies thing maybe. ??? -- 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/
