Dave, Well, the only other big change I made (other than dropping P32-memsection_migrate.patch) to get it to compile and boot for Altix were as follows: (I'll work on testing it after the holiday.) P29-add-memory-migration-to-Kconfig-ia64.patch Add memory migration to the config menu for ia64. P30-remove-page_under_capture.patch removed page_under_capture() from the end of shrink_cache() in mm/vmscan.c. This is not defined in the P series of patches. This particular call was introduced by patch P01-steal_page_from_lru.patch (I'm not sure how to number these patches to fit in with your scheme, so just made some stuff up.) (Oh yeah, this is in top of 2.6.10-rc2-mm4.) Now it would be nice if we could figure out a way to keep these patchsets distinct (i. e. so work on page migration and hotplug can continue without me redoing this every week or two.) One way to do that would be to fix it so that the page migration patches are first in the hotplug patch, or to separate the two out and assume that hotplug patch goes on top of the page migration patch. How would you like to go about this? (I'll take a whack at moving them to the top of the mhp3 series file and see how much trouble I get into....) PS: It doesn't look like Marcello and Hirakazu's migration patch is part of your P* series. Is that correct? -- Best Regards, Ray ----------------------------------------------- Ray Bryant 512-453-9679 (work) 512-507-7807 (cell) raybry@sgi.com raybry@austin.rr.com The box said: "Requires Windows 98 or better", so I installed Linux. ----------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
