He sometimes shows up on Linux kernel lists, but I doubt he cares about that change after all these years. And I would not blame him at all. Yes, we have the "no regressions" rule, but contributing a change to the kernel OTOH should not mean that you are responsible for all regressions it causes for your whole life. :-) > What can > I do in this case? Should I start adding get_maintainer.pl output? Yeah, that's not much helpful here afaics, as most of those that would care are CCed already. I'm CCing Oliver, he sent the fix mentioned above for the SL-6000. Maybe he cares. If not I guess this won't be fixed, unless we find somebody else to care enough to submit a patch. Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat) -- Everything you wanna know about Linux kernel regression tracking: https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/about/#tldr If I did something stupid, please tell me, as explained on that page.
