Temporarily at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/2.6.21-rc3-mm1/ Will appear later at ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.21-rc2/2.6.21-rc3-mm1/ - The wireless changes in here need a lot of testers, please. It is major rework. Of course the config files got all changed around so `make oldconfig' breaks everything. I was able to get ipw2200 working after some fumbling, but perhaps John can tell people what has been changed in there? What's happened, from a big picture perspective? - This patchset contains Con's rip-up-and-rewrite of the CPU scheduling algorithm. It oopsed for me on one machine so I'll do an rc3-mm2 without those changes shortly. If 2.6.21-rc3-mm1 crashes and 2.6.rc3-mm2 does not, don't forget to Cc: Con Kolivas on the report ;) Feedback on this change is sought. Especially from the enterprise-database and volanomark loonies: this stuff might be headed your way so don't tell us afterwards that it hurt. - Added Nick's lock-the-page-in-the-pagefault-handler patches. These reduce the indicence of one bug and increase the incidence of another. VM is fun. - Re-added the ext4 development tree to the -mm lineup. It has stuff in it. Boilerplate: - See the `hot-fixes' directory for any important updates to this patchset. - To fetch an -mm tree using git, use (for example) git-fetch git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/smurf/linux-trees.git tag v2.6.16-rc2-mm1 git-checkout -b local-v2.6.16-rc2-mm1 v2.6.16-rc2-mm1 - -mm kernel commit activity can be reviewed by subscribing to the mm-commits mailing list. echo "subscribe mm-commits" | mail majordomo@vger.kernel.org - If you hit a bug in -mm and it is not obvious which patch caused it, it is most valuable if you can perform a bisection search to identify which patch introduced the bug. Instructions for this process are at http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/bisecting-mm-trees.txt But beware that this process takes some time (around ten rebuilds and reboots), so consider reporting the bug first and if we cannot immediately identify the faulty patch, then perform the bisection search. - When reporting bugs, please try to Cc: the relevant maintainer and mailing list on any email. - When reporting bugs in this kernel via email, please also rewrite the email Subject: in some manner to reflect the nature of the bug. Some developers filter by Subject: when looking for messages to read. - Occasional snapshots of the -mm lineup are uploaded to ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/mm/ and are announced on the mm-commits list.
