Hi all, The i8k driver was reported to be miscompiled by gcc 4.5.0 [1] and 4.5.1. This was fixed by the two following commits: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=6b4e81db2552bad04100e7d5ddeed7e848f53b48 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=22d3243de86bc92d874abb7c5b185d5c47aba323 Both made it in kernel 2.6.37-rc2, so the first mainline kernel with the fix was 2.6.37, released in January 2011.
However, gcc 4.5.0 was released long before, in April 2010 [2]. At that time, the most recent mainline kernel was 2.6.33. So I think it would make sense to backport the fix to the 2.6.33, 2.6.34 and 2.6.35 longterm kernel series.
