Each -mm announcement contains the following text: :- If you hit a bug in -mm and it is not obvious which patch caused it, it is : most valuable if you can perform a bisection search to identify which patch : introduced the bug. Instructions for this process are at : : http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/bisecting-mm-trees.txt : : But beware that this process takes some time (around ten rebuilds and : reboots), so consider reporting the bug first and if we cannot immediately : identify the faulty patch, then perform the bisection search. : ;) - 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/
