( Not sure if the series files was modified in the meantime. ) Here for documentation-purposes-only (partially extracted): [ http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/kernel/rr-latest/series ] # NEXT_PATCHES_START # MM_PATCHES_START # Trivial compilation fixes. ## for-linus virtio:virtio-net-add_schedule_check_to_napi_enable_call.patch ## for-linus end module:deal_with_alignment_issues_in_built_in_versions.patch module:do_not_hide_modver_version_show_declaration_behind_ifdef.patch virtio:blk_allow_re_reading_config_space_at_runtime.patch # MM_PATCHES_END # NEXT_PATCHES_END [ / http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/kernel/rr-latest/series ] So, I looked again into my own askings: [ QUOTE ] With this "evidence material" I "tig-ged" into the commits in my local linux-next GIT repo, which revealed more: 2011-02-14 14:17 Stephen Rothwell Merge branch 'quilt/rr' ***** 2011-02-11 10:37 Rusty Russell module: deal with alignment issues in built-in module parameters FIX ***** 2011-02-07 16:02 Dmitry Torokhov module: deal with alignment issues in built-in module parameters 2011-02-01 21:43 Christoph Hellwig virtio_blk: allow re-reading config space at runtime 2011-02-07 16:02 Dmitry Torokhov module: do not hide __modver_version_show declaration behind ifdef 2011-02-07 16:02 Dmitry Torokhov module: deal with alignment issues in built-in module versions [ /QUOTE ] Looks to me, the FIXUP patch marked with ***** was not really applied to linux-next? Also, this fixup patch is no more in Rusty's series file. Is that all correct now? As I confirmed with "module-fix-fallout-from-alignment.patch" (aka module:deal_with_alignment_issues_in_built_in_parameters.patch) my world is OK. - Sedat - -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
