kernel bug fixed in later kernels
 

Does anyone know if this is going to be fixed in CentOS ?



// test case code below


// expected behaviour is "all good" and a return code of zero.


// this works on 2.6.35-1


// does not work on 2.6.18-194.17.4.el5 from Centos 5.5




// think this bug was fixed in git commit
8948e11f450e6189a79e47d6051c3d5a0b98e3f3


// around 2.6.22

Only if it gets fixed in RHEL.

Did you file a bug? If so, where is it?
