Comment 12 for bug 128228

It's not that I don't believe your patch to be right, but because I want it to be fixed in all distribution, not just Ubuntu.
I suppose that if it would have indeed been patched in main kernel by Oct 13 2007 like the linux thread archive you mentioned above says, we would have it in 2.6.24 by now. So I suspect the patch Alan Cox mentioned to have seen from Greg never have been released in main kernel, which seems to indicate it was... lost somewhere. Admittedly, I probably should have let a kernel developer decide to do that or not.
