ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.18-rc6/2.6.18-rc6-mm2/ - autofs4 mounting remains busted. - CONFIG_BLOCK=n doesn't (quite) work. Will fix later. - CONFIG_MSI=y is probably broken - try disabling it before reporting interrupt-related oopses. Then please report it whether or not that fixed it. - Could I point out the fifth bullet-point in the "Boilerplate" section, below? - git-cryptodev.patch is dropped due to my continuing inability to pull a clean git diff (there is hope, but more work is needed) - Ditto git-sas.patch - And git-audit-master.patch (I think). Things will improve around the 2.6.19-rc1 timeframe. - 1,915 patches breaks the previous record by ~200. - This kernel includes the patch to sort the PCI devices breadth-first. This might cause strange things to happen (particular devices get assigned to different /dev nodes, for example). If this is suspected, please try reverting gregkh-pci-pci-sort-device-lists-breadth-first.patch then send a report. Boilerplate: - See the `hot-fixes' directory for any important updates to this patchset. - To fetch an -mm tree 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 is 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. - When reporting bugs in this kernel via email, please also rewrite the email Subject: in some manner to reflect the nature of the bug. Some developers filter by Subject: when looking for messages to read. - Semi-daily snapshots of the -mm lineup are uploaded to ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/mm/ and are announced on the mm-commits list.
