Following the release of the 2.6.22 kernel [story], Andrew Morton [interview] posted a list of a wide range of patches that are in his -mm kernel, summarizing for each his plans as to whether or not they will be pushed upstream for inclusion in the upcoming 2.6.23 kernel. Comments included simply noting "merge" or "hold", as well as "these appear to need some work,", "don't know, need to ping suitable developers over this work," and "sent to maintainer." Perhaps most entertaining was Andrew's response to the vmscan-give-referenced-active-and-unmapped-pages-a-second-trip-around-the-lru.patch, "this is scary. Will sit and admire it until it has been demonstrated to be a net gain." It is possible to track which patches are actually merged using the gitweb interface to Linus' kernel tree.

 Mel's page allocator work.  Might merge this, but I'm still not hearing
 sufficiently convincing noises from a sufficient number of people over this.

create-the-zone_movable-zone.patch
allow-huge-page-allocations-to-use-gfp_high_movable.patch

 Mel's moveable-zone work.  In a similar situation.  We need to stop whatever
 we're doing and get down and work out what we're going to do with all this
 stuff.

 These are slub changes which are dependent on Mel's stuff, and I have a note
 here that there were reports of page allocation failures with these.  What's
 up with that?


 Maybe I should just drop the 100-odd marginal-looking MM patches?  We're
 simply not showing compelling reasons for merging them and quite a lot of them
 are stuck in a 90% complete state.
