Very sorry about this. Right before OLS and the kernel summit, I backed out the patches you had sent that dealt with the device locking issues, due to them not always working, and the added complexity. I did that to be able to send the rest of the patches off to Linus, which he accepted. I was counting on adding these patches back afterward, when I had a chance to go over them in better detail. Unfortunately, I had to give 3 talks at OSCON the week after OLS, and then LWE took me out of the loop for a few days. So, I should now be caught up. I've applied everything that people had sent me as of last Friday that I agreed with (some I didn't, like the usbfs locking changes.) If you want to send me the patches, rediffed against the current trees, as you think they are in better shape now, and don't have the race conditions that I and others hit pretty easily, please do. Does this help explain stuff more? Oh, and my dropping out of sight isn't over quite yet, I'm going to be out-of-email range for a week starting 8 days from today, then back, and then at another conference for a week. So hopefully by the middle of September, things will get back to normal (or whatever passes for normal around here...) thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by OSTG.
