Re: HEADS DOWN: via padlock possibly broken on master

[Alex Hornung <ahornung@xxxxxxxxx>]

Chris,

simply put, because nobody will test it. Padlock is not on by default,
it has to be enabled in the kernel config or the module loaded.

In any case, with the most recent commit, this should work just fine, I
managed to test it on my NAS which has a via nano.

Cheers,
Alex
