I would suggest taking the v3 patch as is because Lianbo has said not
to add his signed-off-by line because I did not write that portion. I'm not
going to modify something written by someone else and omit where it
came from.
Hi, David
Sorry for the misunderstanding, I don't oppose to adding my signature, but, I just
think
that, maybe it doesn't make sense to add my signature.
If you like the improvement suggestions, can you please post it again with or without
my signature?
Crash utility really needs the fix ASAP. :-)
Thanks.
Lianbo
Thanks!
