- This is a bit of a rush job. Mainly to test the updates to the
driver tree, which do appear to have improved things. - There’s a huge update here to the hrtimers and dynticks code
which I was supposed to test to see if it fixes the
Vaio-goes-deadly-slow problem, but I forgot to. But it does boot
with hrtimers disabled…<quickly tests it>
Nope, doesn’t work.
- Lots of fbdev updates. We haven’t heard from Tony in several
months, so I went on a linux-fbdev-devel fishing expedition. - `make headers_check’ is known-broken on i386 (Rusty’s fault, as
always)
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.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. - 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.
