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. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mbligh/2.6.0-test3/patch-2.6.0-test3-mjb1.bz2 additional patches that can be applied if desired: (these three form the qlogic feral driver) ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.5/2.5.72/2.5.72-mm1/broken-out/linux-isp.patch ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.5/2.5.72/2.5.72-mm1/broken-out/isp-update-1.patch ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.5/2.5.72/2.5.72-mm1/broken-out/isp-remove-pci_detect.patch Since 2.6.0-test2-mjb1 (~ = changed, + = added, - = dropped) Notes: Mostly a merge forwards. Now in Linus' tree: - acenic_fix (equiv) Martin J. Bligh Fix warning in acenic driver - akpm_bear_pit Andrew Morton Add a printk for some buffer error I was hitting - reslabify-pmd-pgd William Lee Irwin Stick things back in the slab. Or something. New: + 16way_x440 Matt Dobson Fix problem with booting on 16x x440 + early_printk_fix Dave Hansen Fix epk conflict with ppc64 + gfp_node_strict Dave Hansen Add a node strict binding as a gfp mask option Dropped: Pending: 4/4 split list_of_lists Hyperthreaded scheduler (Ingo Molnar) scheduler callers profiling (Anton or Bill Hartner) Child runs first (akpm) Kexec e1000 fixes Update the lost timer ticks code pidmaps_nodepages (Dave Hansen) Present in this patch: early_printk Dave Hansen / Keith Mannthey Allow printk before console_init confighz Andrew Morton / Dave Hansen Make HZ a config option of 100 Hz or 1000 Hz config_page_offset Dave Hansen / Andrea Make PAGE_OFFSET a config option numameminfo Martin Bligh / Keith Mannthey Expose NUMA meminfo information under /proc/meminfo.numa sched_tunables Robert Love Provide tunable parameters for the scheduler (+ NUMA scheduler) irq_affinity Martin J.

Bligh Stop kgdb renaming schedule to do_schedule when it's not even enabled local_balance_exec Martin J. Bligh Modify balance_exec to use node-local queues when idle tcp_speedup Martin J. Bligh Speedup TCP (avoid double copy) as suggested by Linus disable preempt Martin J.

Bligh Tell me what the real load average is, and tell me per cpu. nolock Dave McCracken Nah, we don't like locks. proc_pid_readdir Manfred Spraul Make proc_pid_readdir more efficent. Allegedly. mbind_part1 Matt Dobson Bind some memory for NUMA. mbind_part2 Matt Dobson Bind some more memory for NUMA. per_node_rss Matt Dobson Track which nodes tasks mem is on, so sched can be sensible. pfn_to_nid Martin J. Bligh Dance around the twisted rats nest of crap in i386 include. 16way_x440 Matt Dobson Fix problem with booting on 16x x440 early_printk_fix Dave Hansen Fix epk conflict with ppc64 gfp_node_strict Dave Hansen Add a node strict binding as a gfp mask option -mjb Martin J.
