from Documentation/SubmittingPatches The "---" marker line serves the essential purpose of marking for patch handling tools where the changelog message ends. I think the following lines from your patch are also useful, and you'd better move them above the "---" marker. This patch introduces then pptp support to the linux kernel which dramatically speeds up pptp vpn connections and decreases cpu usage in comparison of existing user-space implementation (poptop/pptpclient). There is ...

PPP: introduce "pptp" module which implements point-to-point tunneling protocol using pppox framework NET: introduce the "gre" module for demultiplexing GRE packets on version criteria (required to pptp and ip_gre may coexists) NET: ip_gre: update to use the "gre" module Signed-off-by: Dmitry Kozlov <xeb@mail.ru> --- This patch introduces then pptp support to the linux kernel which dramatically speeds up pptp vpn connections and decreases cpu usage in comparison of existing user-space ...

Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca> writes: hmm, a new requirement?, and one that would require some significant changes to the driver model. Currently, dev_pm_ops for a bus applies globally to *all* devices on that bus (or class or type) and changing that would require changing the platform_bus code to start having per-device (or per-parent-device) /me can't help but wonder why the OMAP implementation is getting all the negative attention while the other identical implementations ...

Yes, it seems it should be possible at least to handle the bug with a warning and error return, considering Plamen's problems with getting the trace. Jarek P. --

Thanks. As suggested by Julian and others, I've decided to just use a spinlock and not use RCU for this. --

It appears the issue lies somewhere within CONNTRACK. A co-worker tested with CONNTRACK disable, and the test passed. Looks like I have a bit of homework to do. Thank you for all the helpful hints that got me this far. Steve --
