Can you please also pick up the (currently) three locking fixups around fbcon? Just so that we don't repeat the same fun where people complain about lockdep splats, but the fixes are stuck somewhere. And I guess Dave would be happy to not end up as fbcon maintainer ;-) He has a git branch with them at http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux/log/?h=fbcon-locking-fixes though I have a small bikeshed on his last patch pending. -Daniel [ /QUOTE ] Did the 3rd patch go also to mmotm tree and got marked for Linux-Next inclusion? Best would be to have it in mainline, finally. Please, fix that for-3.8! Thanks to all volunteers (Alan, Andrew, Takashi Iwai (Sorry, dunno which is 1st and last name), Daniel and finally Dave) trying to get this incredible pain-in-the-a** upstream :-). - Sedat - [0] http://marc.info/?l=dri-devel&m=135962051326601&w=2 [1] http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux/log/?h=fbcon-locking-fixes [2] http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux/commit/?h=fbcon-locking-fixes&id=98dfe36b5532576dedf41408d5bbd45fa31ec62d -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
