Sorry for jumping in a little late, but I am looking into this again because one customer of ours requested this fix. I'm a bit confused now, by two different things: 1* Why did Greg claim that the fix missed the 3.9-stable window while I can see Neil's backport of the fix made it into 3.9.9? 2* Why was the backport only added to 3.9-stable and not also 3.4-longterm and 3.0 longterm? I need the fix for the SLE11 SP3 kernel which is based on 3.0. Neil, do you have a backport of the fix for this kernel? The 3.9 doesn't apply :( Thanks, -- Jean Delvare Suse L3 Support -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
