Ok, sorry. This is all coming from http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.stable/77575/ I assumed you were aware of it because you participated in the thread and one of the patch mentioned in this message (Borislav's change) is applied to the 3.4 branch > > The other 2 are backports of 6fdda9a9c5db367130cf32df5d6618d08b89f46a > > (timekeeping: Avoid possible deadlock from clock_was_set_delayed) and > > ec145babe754f9ea1079034a108104b6001e001c (timekeeping: fix 32-bit > > overflow in get_monotonic_boottime) > > > > Could you explain why there were not included? > > Can you explain why I would include them? :) they seem to fix important issues and you seemed to be ok with including them in stable trees at some point: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.stable/77261/ Note that I am not pushing for anything. I was just under the (incorrect) impression that you would apply them to the 3.4 branch and was surprised when it did not happen I hope the situation is a bit clearer.
