- A large procfs rework from Eric Biederman.
- The swap prefetching patch is back.
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 - -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.
