Yes, sorry, but it's the latest record I could find of this particular
bug and talk of the patch. I just wanted to see if it was followed up
or maybe there was some other issue that meant it couldn't be applied.

Sorry, I should have checked there first.

It doesn't appear to have been applied to the version I use on my
product which is 2.6.33.7-at91-rt29.

The patch appears to have been applied to 3.1-rc4 so it happened
somewhere in between.

Oh well, I guess I was unlucky. Luckily this is only affecting 1
customer that I know of. Our previous kernel bug was the JFFS2 garbage
collection bug - that one was bricking our products in the field
randomly on every power cycle. I built a solid-state power-cycle jig
that switches our product on and off every few minutes to expose these
types of problems. :)

They are using our product, which is 2.6.33.7-at91-rt29.
