Ok, but if the whole series is needed, isn't it better if it all goes into 3.17? Otherwise 3.17 is a clear regression for some users; it's definitely for me since before 3.17-rc1 I never saw this bug and now I see it every time I do something CPU intensive. Maybe the regression is acceptable because the it's confined to some CONFIG_NO_HZ_* combination (I think) which is still rather experimental, that's your call to make, but it's still a regression. -- 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/
