From: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@xxxxxxxxxx> ------------------- This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment. ------------------- commit f066055a3449f0e5b0ae4f3ceab4445bead47638 upstream.
