In those case, the testlog for some wierd reason didnt have any data. this somehow seems to happen with tip/master kernel only. May be its just coincidence. -- Thanks and Regards Srikar PS: benchmark was run under non-standard conditions run only for the purpose of relative comparision of different kernels. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
