- Sam’s new section-mismatch warning code detects 358 errors in
my alpha build, and a quick sampling indicates that they’re real.
Once this hits mainline things will get somewhat messy. - The git-blktrace tree was dropped, due to a bad disagreement
with the relayfs rework in Greg’s tree. - Various buggy patches which were in -mm1 were dropped. Should
be better. (ie: some new, more interesting bugs).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
v2.6.16-rc2-mm1 - See the `hot-fixes’ directory for any important updates to this
- -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’s 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.txtBut 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.
