A number of NUMA balancing patches were tagged for -stable but I got a number of rejected mails from either Greg or his robot minion. The list of relevant patches is FAILED: patch "[PATCH] mm: numa: serialise parallel get_user_page against THP" FAILED: patch "[PATCH] mm: numa: call MMU notifiers on THP migration" MERGED: Patch "mm: clear pmd_numa before invalidating" FAILED: patch "[PATCH] mm: numa: do not clear PMD during PTE update scan" FAILED: patch "[PATCH] mm: numa: do not clear PTE for pte_numa update" MERGED: Patch "mm: numa: ensure anon_vma is locked to prevent parallel THP splits" MERGED: Patch "mm: numa: avoid unnecessary work on the failure path" MERGED: Patch "sched: numa: skip inaccessible VMAs" FAILED: patch "[PATCH] mm: numa: clear numa hinting information on mprotect" FAILED: patch "[PATCH] mm: numa: avoid unnecessary disruption of NUMA hinting during" Patch "mm: fix TLB flush race between migration, and change_protection_range" Patch "mm: numa: guarantee that tlb_flush_pending updates are visible before page table updates" FAILED: patch "[PATCH] mm: numa: defer TLB flush for THP migration as long as" Fixing the rejects one at a time may cause other conflicts due to ordering issues. Instead, this patch series against 3.12.6 is the full list of backported patches in the expected order. Greg, unfortunately this means you may have to drop some patches already in your stable tree and reapply but on the plus side they should be then in the correct order for bisection purposes and you'll know I've tested this combination of patches.
