Ther are nearly 100 mm patches in -mm. I need to do a round of discussion with the originators to work out what's suitable for 2.6.15. For "Hugh stuff" I'm thinking maybe the first batch (mm-hugetlb-truncation-fixes.patch to mm-m68k-kill-stram-swap.patch) and not the second batch. But we need to think about it. > Perhaps he'll be more comfortable with yours, feel it's the right > way to go, and want to put it ahead of what's presently in -mm. > Or perhaps not. The mspec driver? That work should be based on the mm patches in rc4-mm1, I guess. Its impact on core mm is small, so we should be able to get it into 2.6.15. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
