I agree this should probably go through tip. I'm sure Ingo is busy working through the merge window now too, and is not focusing on this thread. Anyway, this thread still has RFC in it. Send out a new patch (new thread) with the Subject: [PATCH -tip] introduce sys_membarrier(): process-wide memory barrier (v9)) With all Acked-by's given and state that it is ready for inclusion in v2.6.34. (make this statement at the top of the email) It may still not make 2.6.34, but at least it will be on its way to 2.6.25 (or 3.0 *wish*) -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
