I guess that, after all, I'll have to figure out git !
You could just send the diff to the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML).
Learning git wasn't that hard ;).. I wanted to have a properly formatted
and possibly retrievable patch ready.. (ok.. The patch was a 1 liner..
but still) .. now..
Actually, I found out (still learning) that posting to LKML by itself is
usually not enough (although sending a copy to LKML for the record seems
to be the Right Thing(tm) to do).. It would have been better and faster
if I had also sent it to the maintainer (Martin Schwidefsky) and the
linux-s390 ML too.. Lesson : RTFM Ivan ! (for that matter
Documentation/SubmittingPatches.txt).. Hopefully, Frans Pop picked it
up, forwarded to the right people, the patch was reviewed, Stefan
Weinhuber found an even better solution and..
Voila !
A fix is in Linus' 2.6.27-rc4-git4[1] (so it should make into 2.6.27,
and possibly 2.6.26 and 2.6.25 (when the problem was introduced [1])
since it was CC'd to stable too)..
Thanks,
