The changelog for "ipc: Don't allocate a copy larger than max" is rather poor - it doesn't actually describe the bug's effects, so people will have trouble understanding whether they need the patch in their kernels. Can you please send along some additional description of this one? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
