ah, i think i see where the confusion comes from. I assumed you knew that by the time your corrected patch arrived i already sent my pull request to Linus [having tested it and having found no immediate problems with it] and Linus already merged it?
So i did a delta patch and sent a second pull request, with a second branch. No puppies got hurt in the process as the two commits are close to each other and werent in fact pushed out by Linus separately.
Obviously you are right in the general case and we try to avoid splitting up fixes into two parts when possible.
