Re: [PATCH 1/2] Fix pointer dereference before call to pcie_bus_configure_settings

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Jon Mason,
 I just noticed that you had just an "Acked-by:" on this one. It
really should be a "Signed-off-by:" since it's passing through you.
Can I get that?

Also, the commit message is a bit unclear. "introduces a few issues"?
Can you guys elaborate on details? Oopses? Not being able to find
devices? What?

                       Linus
