I am refering to this bug:

A thread led to a patch from Paulo:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/1/message/59454/flat
This patch has been included in the kernel 2.6.12.
1. How can I easily check if the patch is planned for include in the 2.4?
2. I downloaded the full 2.4.31 source code. The patch appears not to be included. Where/Who should I signal that?
And what about the side effects:
This however will produce pathological cases, like having a idle system
being requested 1 ms timeouts will give systematically 2 ms timeouts,
whereas currently it simply gives a few usecs less than 1 ms.
(20ms rather than 10ms)
Linus, Andrew, do you consider this critical enough to be merged to the v2.4 tree?
No. I'd expect this would hurt more people than it would benefit.
