Please do not submit patches directly to head kernel maintainers for subsystems that are very responsibly maintained.
If Chas believes he should put this ATM change into the 2.4.x kernel, he undoubtedly will.
I don't know about other people, but when I see people send things directly to one of the head kernel maintainers for something I directly maintain, it drives me absolutely crazy. This feeling is amplified exponentially if this is submitted privately and it's a patch that has been knowingly rejected by me, although happily that is not the case here.
(In particular someone recenrly tried to slip the infamous arp hidden into 2.4.x by sending it to Marcelo privately, when Marcelo forwarded this to me I wanted to pull all the hair out of my head for someone even considering to try doing that.) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
