Hello, I just saw a thread on the LKML a minute ago asking about the state of getting the patch into vanilla linux. I read Andrew Morton's post about a month ago stating that it could happen soon, but was unlikely due to there not actually being a need for it to go into mainline (no major distro default, etc...). I was wondering, myself, earlier in the day what the state of the patch was, if anything further has been said about getting it into mainline. Was also wondering if there was a lot of work going into it right now, or are people tied up doing other things?
If anyone has time for an answer it'd be appreciated by everyone I'm sure, Gratefully, avuton -- Anyone who quotes me in their sig is an idiot. -- Rusty Russell.
