ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.18-rc7/2.6.18-rc7-mm1/ - git-input.patch has been dropped due to major mismatches between it and the driver tree. - git-alsa.patch has been dropped due to similar mismatches. - ia64 doesn't build due to bugs in the PCI tree. - The kernel doesn't work properly on RH FC3 or pretty much anything which uses old udev, due to improvements in the driver tree. - `make headers_check' is busted due to various bugs in various trees and due to collisions between git-magic.patch and git-gfs2.patch which I couldn't be bothered fixing. - CONFIG_BLOCK=n is still busted due to mismatches between the NFS and block trees. Will fix later. - NFS automounts of subdirectories remain unfixed. - The large-NR_IRQS-exhausts-per_cpu-memory problem remains unfixed. I won't merge the genirq changes until it is. - The i386 genirq MSI bugs have been "fixed" by disabling 4k stacks. - It took maybe ten hours solid work to get this dogpile vaguely compiling and limping to a login prompt on x86, x86_64 and powerpc. I guess it's worth briefly testing if you're keen. 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.
