Message-ID: <20060323081100.GE26146@wotan.suse.de> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Sender: owner-linux-mm@kvack.org Return-Path: To: Andrew Morton , Hugh Dickins , Andrea Arcangeli Cc: Linux Memory Management List , Ingo Molnar List-ID: Hi, Would there be any objection to having my lockless pagecache patches merged into -mm, for a possible mainline merge after 2.6.17 (ie. if/ when the mm hackers feel comfortable with it). There are now just 3 patches: 15 files, 312 insertions, 81 deletions for the core changes, including RCU radix-tree. (not counting those last two I just sent you Andrew (VM_BUG_ON, find_trylock_page)) It is fairly well commented, and not overly complex (IMO) compared with other lockless stuff in the tree now. My main motivation is to get more testing and more serious reviews, rather than trying to clear a fast path into mainline.
