Hi,
What about the "ACPICA: Fixes for Unload and DDBHandles" patch?
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10669
The patch was reverted in mainline, but is now fixed, shouldn't it be

brought back at some point? It's (still) listed as a regression,

anyway.

Hm, sorry, I only looked for the patch title in your series. It seems

to be this entry:
commit 8410565f540db87ca938f56f92780d251e4f157d

Author: Bob Moore <robert.moore@intel.com>

Date:   Tue Jun 10 14:29:26 2008 +0800
   ACPICA: Fix for access to deleted object <regression>
   Fixes problem introduced in 20080123, with fix for Unload operator.

   Parse tree object can be already deleted; must use the opcode

   within the WalkState.
   ACPI: kmemcheck: Caught 16-bit read from freed memory

but now it has a completely new title and a new author? This looks

like just the fix, I couldn't find the original patch (which had a

nice title and description on its own). Hm.
Thanks, and sorry for the noise.

Hmm. I get very different statistics:
 27 files changed, 434 insertions(+), 359 deletions(-)
You seem to use "git diff -w" to ignore whitespace changes, which explains

it, but please don't - it makes it harder to compare with expected

results, and it hides some changes entirely.
I do agree that using '-w' is often useful, but especially for the purpose

of letting people know what changed it kind of avoids the point by hiding

many things.

Yes, I've been using "-b" recently:
git diff -b -M --stat linus..$RELEASE
and if I remove the "-b", we match:
 27 files changed, 434 insertions(+), 359 deletions(-)
I have a vague memory of having a good reason to cut over to "-b"

a while back and noting that in my pull request, but if you prefer

no -b, no problem.
thanks,

-Len
