This series cleans up and fixes break_ksm().
Quite a lot of fixups were needed merging this. I guess you couldn't
develop against mm-unstable because the v1 series was already in there.
Nowadays, I tend to send against mm-stable (I remember that was the
suggestion). Usually it works because there are no conflicts -- this
time there are probably quite some kvm unit test conflicts.
Feel free to ask me next time to rebase on XYZ so I can make you life
easier ;)
For this reason I'll henceforth be more inclined to drop serieses when
I know a full resend is coming out.
Yes, good idea. While the fixup-patch process works for small
adjustments, it's not a good fit for bigger changes, especially once
involving new patches.
So please do let me know when a full resend is coming out.
Will do; I kind-of did that [1] but I should have been more clear
("Please drop the current series, I'll send a new version.").
Or, of
course, send little fixes against the current version.
I prefer a full resend when there are bigger changes that involve
modifications to multiple patches ... which also makes life easier for
reviewers.
