Did this actually make 2.6.27?

Comment 2 Gonzalo Muelas Serrano 2008-10-31 10:03:47 UTC

Correct, this feature was accepted upstream in kernel 2.6.27.

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2008-10-31 16:16:54 UTC

Since RHEL 6 will include at least 2.6.27, setting this to MODIFIED.

The feature requested has already been accepted into the upstream code base
planned for the next major release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

When the next milestone release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is available,
please verify that the feature requested is present and functioning as
desired.
