  • It took six hours work to get this release building and linking
    in just a basic fashion on eight-odd architectures. It’s getting
    out of control.

    The acphphp driver is still broken and v4l and memory hotplug
    are, I suspect, only hanging in there by the skin of their
    teeth.

    Could patch submitters _please_ be a lot more careful about
    getting the Kconfig correct, testing various Kconfig combinations
    (yes sometimes people will want to disable your lovely new feature)
    and just generally think about these things a bit harder? It isn’t
    rocket science.

  • Added the GFS tree to the -mm lineup as git-gfs2.patch . The
    DLM patches were consequently dropped.

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 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.
