Andrew Morton: Linux 2.6.19-rc4-mm1

It should be here:


ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.19-rc4/2.6.19-rc4-mm1/

but mirroring has broken, so I’ve temporarily put a copy
here:

http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/2.6.19-rc4-mm1/

Please check ftp ftp.kernel.org (or www.kernel.org) first.

  • 2.6.19-rc3-mm1 was rather a mess. This is mainly an attempt to
    repair it.
  • The ACPI tree has been dropped due to Rafael’s testing
    failures.
  • The driver tree has been dropped due to various problems.
    Consequently a string of patches which are destined for the driver
    tree have also been temporarily removed. Various other patches have
    been set aside, rejects have been fixed up, etc. Dropping trees is
    a pain.
  • None of the other quilt trees (gregkh-*, jdelvare-*,
    x86_64-mm-*) have been repulled since 2.6.19-rc3-mm1. But the git
    trees were repulled a few hours ago.

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.
  • 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.
  • Semi-daily 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.
