2.6.24-rc1-git4: Reported regressions from 2.6.23

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

This message contains a list of some regressions from 2.6.23 which have been
reported since 2.6.24-rc1 was released and for which there are no fixes in the
mainline that I know of.  If any of them have been fixed already, please let me
know.

If you know of any other unresolved regressions from 2.6.23, please let me know
either and I'll add them to the list.

For details, please follow the links given in references.

As you can see, there is a Bugzilla entry for each of the listed regressions.
I'm the owner of some of these entries, so if you want me to reassign them to
someone else, please let me know.

There also is a Bugzilla entry used for tracking the regressions from 2.6.23,
unresolved as well as resolved, at:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9243

Please let me know if there are any Bugzilla entries that should be added to
the list in there.


RE: Regressions from 2.6.22

Unfortunately, I'm unable to follow all of the regressions from 2.6.22 reported
since 2.6.23 was released.  Still, there is the Bugzilla entry at:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9056

that can be used for tracking them.  If you know of any such regression which
has not been fixed in the mainline yet, please create a Bugzilla entry for it
and link it to Bug #9056 (it's sufficient to mark it as blocking Bug #9056 for
this purpose).


Greetings,
Rafael
