Well, it's a broader issue than that. I often see a large number of rejects when syncing mainline with linux-next during the merge window.

that is typical. I've never really bothered working out why this is happening. I suspect monkey business is afoot. People are magically finding new patches or new versions of old patches when the merge window opens up. Also, some dope has just gone and added sys_numa_mbind() and sys_numa_tbind() to linux-next, nicely trashing a few things which were lined up for 3.5-rc1. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
