Andrew Morton: Linux 2.6.17-rc6-mm1


ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.17-rc6/2.6.17-rc6-mm1/

  • Many more lockdep updates

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.
