No, it won't, the code has changed in ways that won't make this happen any more. The fix with the (!dir) part is on it's way, I could split that out separately if you'd like, but then we'd have to fix up the rejects because that patch looks different too even though the result will be very similar. > What -stable trees should it > go to, .27? .26? .25? Good question. The latter fix with (!dir) applies to .26 as well, but the issue is hit so infrequently (only when adding the debugfs dir has failed before) that I'm not sure it's worth it. And the master interface issue isn't present before .27. johannes
