I can certainly handle MM patches which are based on linux-next. Such an arrangement is going to make life awkward for Michal's auto-maintained git tree of the -mm MM patches (git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mhocko/mm.git). Maybe I could merge down_write_killable into -mm's main MM section then knock it out of my copy of linux-next, so everything is seamless for mm.git. I've done that before. But it's all a bit of a pain - it would be simpler to keep down_write_killable in the same tree as the patches which depend on it. Michal, how about this? mm.git currently takes the patches between #NEXT_PATCHES_START mm ... #NEXT_PATCHES_END Can you change it to also take the patches between #NEXT_PATCHES_START mm-post-next ... #NEXT_PATCHES_END ? That way I can do #NEXT_PATCHES_START mm ... #NEXT_PATCHES_END ... linux-next.patch revert-down_write_killable.patch ... #NEXT_PATCHES_START mm-post-next down_write_killlable.patch ... #NEXT_PATCHES_END then everything you have should apply and run OK. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-alpha" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
