I didn't discuss which behavior is better. Michael said he want to apply his patch to 2.6.32 & 2.6.33. stable tree never accept the breaking compatibility patch. Your answer doesn't explain why can't we wait it until next merge window. btw, personally, I like page size indepent stack size. but I'm not sure why making stack size independency is related to bug fix. _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
