Andy Whitcroft has taken back over maintaining the sparsemem patches.
I'll should be picking updates up from him in the future. He's also
planning on submitting them to the -mm tree shortly.
The L0-sysfs-memory-class patch is no more. I'm getting it ready to be
merged, so I've cleaned up a few things:
- removed BROKEN and INVALID memory states, we don't use these
- put a WARN() in the fall-through case(mem->state)
- remove "/* a hardware/firmware check for the ram" in
memory_probe_store()
- remove CAP_SYS_ADMIN checks. The control file permissions
should take care of this. It also leaves open the possibility
that a sysadmin could have another user/group take care of
this, instead of plain root or CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
- remove memory_hotplug_filter(). Unused, and not required to
be implemented
Here's the set that have been broken out from that patch, or that are
closely dependent on it:
# new infrastructure
C1-pcp_zone_init.patch
C2-globalize-flush_all_zero_pkmaps.patch
C3-__section_nr.patch
C4-zone_resize_sem.patch
# actual sysfs patches
D0-sysfs-memory-class.patch
D1-i386-hotplug-functions.patch
D2-ia64-hotplug-functions.patch
D3-x86_64-hotplug-functions.patch
# debugging only
E0-for-debugging-page_is_ram_hotplug.patch
E1-for-debugging-memory_present-for-contig-systems.patch
E2-for-debugging-handle-add-to-empty-zone.patch
E3-for-debugging-more-FLAGS_RESERVED.patch
I'll likely submit all of these at the same time. However, I plan to
ask Andrew Morton to keep the E* patches in -mm. Those patches let you
fake memory hotplug on non-hotplug machines, but they're not horribly
useful beyond their debugging application, so they probably shouldn't go
to mainline.
The page migration patches should be working:
http://sr71.net/patches/2.6.12/2.6.12-rc3-mhp1/page_migration/patch-2.6.12-rc3-mhp1-pm.gz
There are some small fix bits in here that might conflict with people's
personal trees:
aic-compile-fix.patch
arm-pm_message_t-include.patch
ia64-acpi.patch
x86_64-rc3fix.patch
They should back right out, so it shouldn't be much of an issue.
Archives and broken out patches are in the same place as always:
