Hi, Rafael

Can we queue this up in linux-next?
ASLTS recursive tests are done in ACPICA upstream and no regressions can be
seen.
We need more tests around this experimental change from the real users to
have the chances to learn the unknown cases.
If they reported regressions, we could stop the regressions by reverting
[PATCH 4/4].
So it should be safe to do such experiments in the Linux upstream.
Thanks in advance.
There is a rule that during a merge window linux-next should only
contain material for that merge window. That is, currently linux-next
should only contain material targeted at v4.7.

For this reason, I can't put the series into linux-next right now, but
I'll do that as soon as 4.7-rc1 is released.

Great!
Thanks for the information.

Unfortunately, it is reported that the series actually causes problems to happen.

I sent you a CC of my response to the report in question earlier today.

Thanks,
Rafael
