I've isolated the second regression, and submitted another patch, attached here. So far, no one else seeing this bug report has hit that second regression, so there may be no one here to really test it.
I have found a previous post to LKML, from a user who bisected his problem to the same commit, fa2727, so I may try to contact him: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/24/54 At any rate, my submission to Thomas can be watched here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/19/189 And I'll report back. In the meantime, my first patch was merged into Linus' tree, and will be in Linux 3.2. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commit;h=c75d720fca8a91ce99196d33adea383621027bf2 It has not shown up in the stable releases, yet. I'm not sure when it's time to start asking Greg KH about that; I'll give it a bit more time. At this point, I'd suggest Ubuntu apply it, unless your MO is to wait for patches to hit the stable tree. ** Patch added: "patch for second irqpoll regression, broken in kernel commit fa2727" https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/855199/+attachment/2602449/+files/0001-genirq-fix-second-2.6.39-regression-in-irqfixup-irqp.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/855199 Title: "irqfixup" and "irqpoll" broken since 2.6.39 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/855199/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
