I have some questions about this one: Cc: # 3.3.x: a1f84a3: sched: Check for idle Cc: # 3.3.x: 1b9508f: sched: Rate-limit newidle Cc: # 3.3.x: fd21073: sched: Fix affinity logic Cc: # 3.3.x Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar 1. what does the kernel version mean? can I omit it? 2. so when I rebase to add the tag, this changes commit IDs for following tags in the same tree, breaking their tags in the process. Pretty annoying. Any idea how to do it better? Thanks! -- MST
