Hello, I had git cloned the latest mm tag (v2.6.19-rc5-mm1) by git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/smurf/linux-trees.git v2.6.19-rc5-mm1 Now according to http://lwn.net/Articles/208300/ there is a patch in ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.19-rc5/2.6.19-rc5-mm1/2.6.19-rc5-mm1.bz2 so I downloaded it , unzipped it and renamed it to 2.6.19-rc5-mm1.patch Now I want to apply this patch but I am not sure how. I saw that the patch "old" source tree is under linux-2.6.19-rc5 like thus: --- linux-2.6.19-rc5/Documentation/00-INDEX 2006-11-07 21:14:03.000000000 -0800 +++ devel/Documentation/00-INDEX 2006-11-08 01:18:12.000000000 -0800 So I reanmed my root tree to linux-2.6.19-rc5 instead v2.6.19-rc5-mm1 Now how should I apply it ? I tried cd to linux-2.6.19-rc5 and from there patch < 2.6.19-rc5-mm1.patch But it gave errors. What is the right way to apply this patch ?
