Wow. Why? or did you want this applied only to the 2.6.16.* stable kernel?
|--- linux.orig/kernel/sched.c |+++ linux/kernel/sched.c -------------------------- Patching file kernel/sched.c using Plan A... Hunk #1 succeeded at 5032 with fuzz 2 (offset 430 lines). Hmm... Ignoring the trailing garbage. done
<me checks>
I'm surprised that none of Documentation/SubmittingPatches or The Perfect Patch (http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/tpp.txt) or Jeff Garzik's patch-format page (http://linux.yyz.us/patch-format.html) (AFAICT) mention that patches should be made against "current" or "recent" or "head of tree" or some such words.
I'll "fix" Doc/SubmittingPatches... and/or Doc/SubmitChecklist.
