ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.16-rc3/2.6.16-rc3-mm1/ - Various fixes, updates and cleanups. Nothing very exciting, unless you spend a lot of your time waiting for msync() to complete. - Again, please cast an eye across this patch series for things which should go into 2.6.16. There are a number of patches staged at the head of the series which I've identified for 2.6.16, and I see a few more which need to be cherrypicked. But sometimes I'm not in a position to gauge the desirability/seriousness of some fixes. Because people forget to tell... Boilerplate: - See the `hot-fixes' directory for any important updates to this patchset. - To fetch this -mm trees using git, use (for example) git fetch git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/smurf/linux-trees.git v2.6.16-rc2-mm1 - -mm kernel commit activity can be reviewed by subscribing to the mm-commits mailing list. echo "subscribe mm-commits" | mail majordomo@vger.kernel.org - If you hit a bug in -mm and it's not obvious which patch caused it, it is most valuable if you can perform a bisection search to identify which patch introduced the bug. Instructions for this process are at http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/bisecting-mm-trees.txt But beware that this process takes some time (around ten rebuilds and reboots), so consider reporting the bug first and if we cannot immediately identify the faulty patch, then perform the bisection search. - When reporting bugs, please try to Cc: the relevant maintainer and mailing list on any email.
