Created attachment 292690 [details] Backported RHEL5 patch of net/core/link_watch.c to RHEL4
*** Bug 430065 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Setting/requesting flags, assigned.
Posted above patch; awaiting test results.
It was posted to rhkernel on 1/24/08 as stated in Comment #4. Changing status to POST (my bad for not doing it sooner). I'm checking on its status in RHEL4.7 pre-beta kernels, and once in MODIFIED state, z-stream maintainters are chomping at the bit to move it to 4.6.z (all flags set & ready to go once its status is moved to MODIFIED).
Committed in 68.17.EL . RPMS are available at http://people.redhat.com/vgoyal/rhel4/
