Oh no! I was hoping for an extra week! The patch that I asked to be pulled: (a38647837a411f7df79623128421eef2118b5884) "xen/mmu: Add workaround "x86-64, mm: Put early page table high" does not compleltly workaround the regression that the patch from Yinghai titled 'x86-64, mm: Put early page table high" introduced wherein Linux can't boot under Xen. The failure still encountered: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/5/5/180, the previous git pull request with an outline of the problem https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/5/3/99 and huge amount of details in http://marc.info/?i=1302607192-21355-2-git-send-email-stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com I was hoping that the rc6 could stretch out so that by the time hpa came back from his travels he would have had a chance to look at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/5/5/226 (or git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/bug-fixes-for-rc6) which has a more precise patch and fixes the regression. Linus, what is the right way to go about this? -- 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/
