Personally, I think this is really really needed. I'm surprised that you already didn't push this considering Andrew pulled this into -mm immediately.


Since it affects a fragile area of e1000 for all [e1000] users, I much prefer to err on the side of caution. I have a history of pulling wide-impact fixes like this, late in -rc cycle, and having yet more breakage appear.

But if Andrew or Linus disagree, feel free to override me. This is just area where I am intentionally over-cautious.
