These patches are on rc1-mm4, which unfortunately contains quite a lot of -mm-only debugging stuff in slab.c. Could you please redo/retest these patches so that they apply on 2.6.16-rc2. Also, please arrange for any bugfixes to be staged ahead of any optimisations - the optimisations we can defer until 2.6.17. - 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/
