BFS updates available for kernel - when will they be added?

[humdinger70]

In perusing the new weekly edition of Linux Weekly News today (05/05/2010), I noticed an article about updates to the BFS schedule mods.

The current version of BFS  in PCLinuxOS 2010 (at least in mine running in VBox 3.1.6) is 0.313 (based on doing a 'dmesg | grep BFS' command at a terminal prompt).

Any idea if and/or when they'll come into our systems?

I like updates, but according to the article, we are ok.

The change to 0.316 will not have any effect on kernels built with SMP
support. Fortunately, all pclinuxOS kernels (the largest current distribution
using BFS in its kernels) are built with SMP support enabled so will not
suffer from this bug.
