It's meant to be pretty stable, not so much a testing ground for new stuff. I'd be very interested in feedback from anyone willing to test on any platform, however large or small. http://www.aracnet.com/~fletch/linux/2.5.59/patch-2.5.59-mjb5.bz2 additional: http://www.aracnet.com/~fletch/linux/2.5.59/pidmaps_nodepages http://www.aracnet.com/~fletch/linux/2.5.59/mjb4-stacks Since 2.5.59-mjb4 (~ = changed, + = added, - = dropped) Notes: Shared pagetables pt. 2 ... the revenge of shared pagetables. ~ discontig_x440 Pat Gaughen / IBM NUMA team - srat_fixes Pat Gaughen + kprobes Vamsi Krishna S + dmc_exit1 Dave McCracken + dmc_exit2 Dave McCracken + shpte Dave McCracken Pending: Linux Kernel Crash Dump kirq interrupt balancing patch (Nitin Kamble) auto_disable_tsc (John Stultz) scheduler callers profiling (Anton) PPC64 NUMA patches (Anton) Child runs first (akpm) Feral qlogic driver (Matthew Jacob and the SCSI crew) Kexec e1000 fixes Non-PAE aligned kernel splits (Dave Hansen) dcache_rcu Dipankar / Maneesh Use RCU type locking for the dentry cache. early_printk Dave Hansen et al.
