They hence remove our best way of confirming that Peter's patches fix the problem which you've observed in a proper fashion. Until we've confirmed that the NFS problem is nailed, I wouldn't want to merge cpuset-aware-writeback. I'm hoping to be able to do that with fake-numa on x86-64 but haven't got onto it yet. - 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/
