Good point :) The reason these first 2 patches were included in this patchset is because patch 3 depended on patch 1 (particularly due to the modifications to posix_cpu_timers_init_group() which happen to use ACCESS_ONCE after initializing the thread_group_cputimer lock). Likewise patch 2 depended on patch 1. Thus, I included these changes to make applying these patches a bit simpler. -- 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/
