TBH, looking at the commit messages, it might be tough to make the case for -stable. They sure make the patches sound fluffy. And since the problem can be worked around in userspace, I'm not sure the following rule: - It must fix a problem that causes a build error (but not for things marked CONFIG_BROKEN), an oops, a hang, data corruption, a real security issue, or some "oh, that's not good" issue. In short, something critical. from Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt is satisfied. But if you all prefer to try that route first I'll certainly not object. > New 2.6.32.y stable releases are > automatically incorporated by most distros AFAIK. > > (Btw.
