It fixes a bug that was introduced (exposed, really) with 7eb54cf0b55d2160064a28a3fb929ddffed8b324 in 3.5.2 d6250a3f12edb3a86db9598ffeca3de8b4a219e9 in 3.6-rc2 It looks like the break was backported as cabf5b0af54cec6a2f9ce674cbc96fc8aa2fc468 in 3.4.9 60ed9e385606f27c787710bba0dfdb7ff467bdf7 in 3.2.27 7b1cad628030b9bbdaaa4bb8ff73cabaab6e82c9 in 3.0.41 so yes, this fix should be applied to the older releases, though I haven't tested them. -Ben -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
