Yeah, don't remind me - it's late.
There was nothng in particular holding this thing up, I just basically
just forgot to cut a -rc2 release last week.
There's not a lot of hugely exciting stuff here. Some arch updates: MIPS,
arm, blackfin, x86, sparc[64], sh, s390..
Also various driver updates: libata, IDE, networking, DVB.. And some more
fallout from the scatter-gather changes.
Some scheduler cleanups, and also fixing the CPU usage statistics that
got scrogged at some point.
Nothing really earthshattering that I can recall or see. A lot of it is
small buglets and compiler warnings (and occasionally broken builds). The
shortlog is still slightly too large for the mailing list limit, so you
need to generate it either from the full log (posted on the normal sites)
or with
git shortlog v2.6.24-rc1..
but quite frankly, it's no Leo Tolstoy. If you have trouble falling
asleep, you might try to print it out and take it to bed with you: it's
not going to be more than just a couple of pages ("use 2nup and save a
tree"), but I dare you to actually get to the end. Snooze city.
It's full of such *riveting* entries like:
James Bottomley:
x86: voyager: fix bogus conversion to per_cpu for boot_cpu_info
...
Jens Axboe:
mmc: sg fallout
...
Joerg Roedel:
x86 gart: rename iommu.h to gart.h
...
Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
V4L/DVB (6390): Updates missing entries at CARDLIST.em28xx
...
Ralf Baechle:
[MIPS] Alchemy: Nuke homebrew setup_irq(), it's broken and unnecessary.
...
Yu Luming:
[IA64] fix typo in per_cpu_offset
..
and yes, I just picked those out randomly.

Free memory also looks good, specially Node 0 DMA32 and the order is 0.

You don't see the problem with 2.6.24-rc1 right? Any chance of you
being able to do a git-bisect?

This is stupid - there's just no way we should have got within five miles
of out_of_memory() when there's 177MB free in ZONE_DMA32.
I can only think that the zonelists got set up wrongly, or the freelist got
damaged or something like that.

Yeah, I'm sitting on a fix for that - I have a large number of for-2.6.24
fixes which I need to launder through subystem maintainers.
This message contains a list of some regressions from 2.6.23 which have been
reported since 2.6.24-rc1 was released and for which there are no fixes in the
mainline that I know of. ?If any of them have been fixed already, please let me
know.
If you know of any other unresolved regressions from 2.6.23, please let me know
either and I'll add them to the list.

Patch :
For details, please follow the links given in references.
As you can see, there is a Bugzilla entry for each of the listed regressions.
There also is a Bugzilla entry used for tracking the regressions from 2.6.23,
unresolved as well as resolved, at:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9243
Please let me know if there are any Bugzilla entries that should be added to
the list in there.
Greetings,
Rafael

Nobody just happens upon a Voyager quote like that, it takes (at least
some) skill to find, just like actually finding said hardware.
