Of cource, if you all don't mind and it is really needed, I will do that.
As it stands now I'm quite convinced these patches will make lockdep
scream bloody murder, so these patches would need quite some more work
before they're usable.
Also, I don't think your series is bisectable, ie. 1/12 changes
device::sem -> device::mutex, and 12/12 changes a user of it.
Sorry, I don't use git tools now. Could you tell me how to fix it?
thanks in advance.
Just ensure that the kernel builds after each applied patch. If you're
using quilt, something like:
while (quilt push && make)
should finish the whole series.
