Bligh" To: linux-kernel cc: lse-tech Subject: 2.5.61-mjb1 (scalability / NUMA patchset) Message-ID: <4450000.1045526067@flay> X-Mailer: Mulberry/2.1.2 (Linux/x86) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 5071 Lines: 174 Yeah, yeah. I know Linus beat me to it ... I'm just "fashionably late". -------------------------------- The patchset contains mainly scalability and NUMA stuff, and anything else that stops things from irritating me. 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/2.6.61/patch-2.5.61-mjb1.bz2 additional: http://www.aracnet.com/~fletch/linux/2.5.59/pidmaps_nodepages Since 2.5.59-mjb5 (~ = changed, + = added, - = dropped) Notes: Just a merge from 59-mjb6 up with 2.5.61 really ... I'd like kprobes and lkcd tested though, if someone can.
