No, mingming and I both work off of the patch queue (which is also stored in git). So what mingming was asking for exactly was just posting the incremental patches and tagging them appropriately to avoid confusion. I tried building the patch queue earlier in the week and it there were multiple oops/panics as I ran things through various regression tests, but that may have been fixed since (the tree was broken over the weekend and I may have grabbed a broken patch series) or it may have been a screw up on my part feeding them into our testing grid. I haven't had time to try again this week, but I'll try to put together a new tested ext4 patchset over the weekend. > I'm not sure what to do, really.

What we have now is fine, and it was just people kvetching that Amit reposted patches that were already in -mm and ext4. In any case, the plan is to push all of the core bits into Linus tree for 2.6.22 once it opens up, which should be Real Soon Now, it looks like. - Ted - 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/
