The patch titled disable sys_timerfd() for 2.6.23 has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is disable-sys_timerfd-for-2623.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: disable sys_timerfd() for 2.6.23 From: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> There is still some confusion and disagreement over what this interface should actually do. So it is best that we disable it in 2.6.23 until we get that fully sorted out. (sys_timerfd() was present in 2.6.22 but it was apparently broken, so here we assume that nobody is using it yet).
