I'd like to get Paul's patch into mainline this evening, to give us a chance to get the subsequent mess sorted out in time for next linux-next[*]. So there's no rush on this update. [*] Judging by this: kernel/cpuset.c: In function 'cpuset_common_file_write': kernel/cpuset.c:1374: warning: passing argument 3 of 'update_flag' makes integer from pointer without a cast kernel/cpuset.c: In function 'cpuset_destroy': kernel/cpuset.c:1793: warning: passing argument 3 of 'update_flag' makes integer from pointer without a cast Paul should drop sched-devel. I'm suspecting it contains stale old stuff which wasn't supposed to be there.
