We postponed these to the next cycle. However, as Thomas Gleixner pointed out, we should have not left the known memory corruption bugs lie in the kernel and should have prevented the module unload instead. -Chris The following changes since commit 6b0cd00bc396daf5c2dcf17a8d82055335341f46: Merge branch 'hwpoison-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ak/linux-mce-2.6 (2010-10-07 13:59:32 -0700) are available in the git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ickle/drm-intel.git drm-intel-fixes Chris Wilson (1): drm/i915: Prevent module unload to avoid random memory corruption drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_dma.c | 3 +++ 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre
