I don't think you understand how the patches are applied to the stable kernel releases. They come directly from Linus's kernel.org git tree, and when they show up there, I take them and apply them to the current stable and longterm kernels. > I took the available patches from kernel.org.

I think you need to look at the kernel git trees to see the individual patches, which is what you should be looking at. Also take a look at the Documentation/development_model/ documentation in the kernel tree that explains how patches flow into the kernel and then into the stable kernel trees. If you have questions after reading that, please let us know. hope this helps, greg k-h _______________________________________________ stable mailing list stable@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/stable
