I won't be sending it off for another 12-24 hours yet. To give people time for final comment and to give me time to see if it actually works. - A few serial bits. - A few pcmcia bits. - Some of the MM queue. Includes: - An enhancement to /proc/pid/smaps to permit monitoring of a running program's working set. There's another patchset which builds on this quite a lot from Matt Mackall, but it's not quite ready yet. - The SLUB allocator. It's pretty green but I do want to push ahead with this pretty aggressively with a view to replacing slab altogether. If it ends up not working out then we should remove slub altogether again, but I doubt if that will occur. If SLUB isn't in good shape by 2.6.22 we should hide it in Kconfig to prevent people from hitting known problems. It'll remain EXPERIMENTAL. - generic pagetable quicklist management. We have x86_64 and ia64 and sparc64 implementations, but I'll only include David's sparc64 implementation here. I'll send the x86_64 and ia64 implementations through maintainers. - Various random MM bits - Benh's teach-get_unmapped_area-about-MAP_FIXED changes - madvise(MADV_FREE) This means I'm holding back Mel's page allocator work, and Andy's lumpy-reclaim. A shame in a way - I have high hopes for lumpy reclaim against the moveable zone, but these things are not to be done lightly. A few MM things have been held back awaiting subsystem tree merges (probably x86 - I didn't check). - One little security patch - the blackfin architecture - small h8300 update - small alpha update - swsusp updates - m68k bits - cris udpates - Lots of UML updates - v850, xtensa slab-introduce-krealloc.patch at91_cf-minor-fix.patch add-new_id-to-pcmcia-drivers.patch
