It's still in experimental status but general stability is improving. Changes since -T7: - fixed a nasty category of bugs that were introduced by the use of rwsems for rwlocks. rwsems are not read-recursive, while rwlocks are. Fortunately it was not too hard to identify & fix recursive users of tasklist_lock, in fact each of these also qualifies as a cleanup. The symptom of this bug was a soft-deadlocking of the system. - fixed profiler locks, i believe this could resolve the bootup crash reported by K.R. Foley. - fixed VP / XFS namespace collision reported by Mark H. Johnson - fix one more final detail of the new zombie-task handling code - fixed 3c59x.c, fasync-handling, ipv6, module-loader runtime warnings reported by K.R. Foley. - fixed the ali5451 locking to create a -T8 tree from scratch the patching order is: http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.8.tar.bz2 + http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/patch-2.6.9-rc4.bz2 + http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.9-rc4/2.6.9-rc4-mm1/2.6.9-rc4-mm1.bz2 + http://redhat.com/~mingo/voluntary-preempt/voluntary-preempt-2.6.9-rc4-mm1-T8 Ingo - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
