Do you mean that the patch looks good or that you've tried applying it
and the behavior was bad before and good afterward?
(If you haven't tested it yet, here's a quick demo.
apt-get install git build-essential; # prerequisites
# if you don't already have a copy of the kernel with history:
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
cd linux
# get point releases
git remote add -f stable \
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git
# test baseline. Warning: while 2.6.32.y is maintained, 2.6.33.y isn't.
git checkout stable/linux-2.6.32.y
cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config; # current configuration
make localmodconfig; # optional: minimize configuration
make deb-pkg; # optionally with -j<num> for parallel build
dpkg -i ../<name of package>
reboot
# hopefully it reproduces the bug. So try the patch:
cd linux
git am -3sc <path to the patch>
make deb-pkg; # maybe with -j4
dpkg -i ../<name of package>
reboot
)
