Following the release of the 2.6.21 kernel [story] Andrew Morton [interview] posted a list of patches in his -mm kernel, summarizing for each his plans as to whether or not they wil be pushed upstream for inclusion in the upcoming 2.6.22 kernel. He noted, "the overall stability in recent -mm's was not sufficiently high and we ran out of time to find all the bugs. I shouldn't have merged all those patches last week - they contained an exceptional amount of garbage. This all means that more bugs than usual will probably leak into mainline, and we'll have to fix them there." He went on to add, "I've been ducking most non-bugfix patches recently. I have ~200 feature and cleanup patches queued for later consideration, so people who sent those will be hearing from me eventually."

Please also consider rewriting the Subject: to something appropriate. - I'll cc linux-mm on this - the memory-management situation is complicated. - The overall stability in recent -mm's was not sufficiently high and we ran out of time to find all the bugs. I shouldn't have merged all those patches last week - they contained an exceptional amount of garbage.

I don't believe that this has had sufficient review and I'm sure that it hasn't had sufficient third-party testing. Most of the approbations thus far have consisted of people liking the overall idea, based on the changelogs and multi-year-old discussions. For such a large and core change I'd have expected more detailed reviewing effort and more third-party testing. And I STILL haven't made time to review the code in detail myself. So I'm a bit uncomfortable with moving ahead with these changes. mm-simplify-filemap_nopage.patch mm-fix-fault-vs-invalidate-race-for-linear-mappings.patch mm-merge-populate-and-nopage-into-fault-fixes-nonlinear.patch mm-merge-nopfn-into-fault.patch convert-hugetlbfs-to-use-vm_ops-fault.patch mm-remove-legacy-cruft.patch mm-debug-check-for-the-fault-vs-invalidate-race.patch mm-fix-clear_page_dirty_for_io-vs-fault-race.patch add-unitialized_var-macro-for-suppressing-gcc-warnings.patch i386-add-ptep_test_and_clear_dirtyyoung.patch i386-use-pte_update_defer-in-ptep_test_and_clear_dirtyyoung.patch Miscish MM changes.

A fairly important and low-level way of exposing memory state to userspace, for developers. Matt still has a decent-sized todo list here. Might merge, might hold over for 2.6.23. lumpy-reclaim-v4.patch This is in a similar situation to the moveable-zone work. Sounds great on paper, but it needs considerable third-party testing and review. It is a major change to core MM and, we hope, a significant advance. On paper. add-pfn_valid_within-helper-for-sub-max_order-hole-detection.patch anti-fragmentation-switch-over-to-pfn_valid_within.patch lumpy-move-to-using-pfn_valid_within.patch More Mel things, and linkage between Mel-things and lumpy reclaim. It's here where the patch ordering gets into a mess and things won't improve if moveable-zones and lumpy-reclaim get deferred. Such a deferral would limit my ability to queue more MM changes for 2.6.23. readahead-improve-heuristic-detecting-sequential-reads.patch readahead-code-cleanup.patch Will merge. bias-the-location-of-pages-freed-for-min_free_kbytes-in-the-same-max_order_nr_pages-blocks.patch remove-page_group_by_mobility.patch dont-group-high-order-atomic-allocations.patch More moveable-zone work. mm-move-common-segment-checks-to-separate-helper-function-v7.patch slab-use-num_possible_cpus-in-enable_cpucache.patch slab-dont-allocate-empty-shared-caches.patch slab-numa-kmem_cache-diet.patch do-not-disable-interrupts-when-reading-min_free_kbytes.patch slab-mark-set_up_list3s-__init.patch mm-clean-up-and-kernelify-shrinker-registration.patch fix-section-mismatch-of-memory-hotplug-related-code.patch add-white-list-into-modpostc-for-memory-hotplug-code-and-ia64s-machvec-section.patch split-mmap.patch only-allow-nonlinear-vmas-for-ram-backed-filesystems.patch cpusets-allow-tif_memdie-threads-to-allocate-anywhere.patch More MM misc.
