ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.23-rc6/2.6.23-rc6-mm...

2.6.23-rc6-mm1 is a 29MB diff against 2.6.23-rc6.

It took me over two solid days to get this lot compiling and booting on a few
boxes.  This required around ninety fixup patches and patch droppings.  There
are several bugs in here which I know of (details below) and presumably many
more which I don't know of.  I have to say that this just isn't working any
more.

- The Vaio hangs when quitting X due to x86_64-mm-cpa-clflush.patch, but
  I didn't drop that patch because the iommu patch series depends on it.

- The Vaio also hangs during resume-from-RAM, due to git-acpi.patch

- And it hangs during suspend-to-RAM, due to git-acpi.patch

- Huge churn in networking.  Many wireless drivers will be busted, and b44.c
  has been disabled altogether.  If you need b44, then good luck working out
  what was done to it.

- Added Peter's writeback balancing changes.  Might help people who are
  seeing large latency during heavy writeback.

- Major changes in the basically-unmaintained IPC code.  Needs careful
  testing and reviewing.

- Matthias fixed the mm-to-git importer, so the below-referenced git tree
  should hopefully be working again.

- Pleeeeeze do try to cc the appropriate developer(s) and mailing lists
  when reporting problems, thanks.


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 tag v2.6.16-rc2-mm1
  git-checkout -b local-v2.6.16-rc2-mm1 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.

- Occasional 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.

Probably this:

+++ a/drivers/pci/hotplug/rpadlpar_sysfs.c
@@ -129,8 +129,7 @@ struct kobj_type ktype_dlpar_io = {

But I'm fed up with fixing that patch.  It's Greg's turn.
