| |
The patchset contains mainly scalability and NUMA stuff, and anything else that stops things from irritating me. It's meant to be pretty stable, not so much a testing ground for new stuff.
I'd be very interested in feedback from anyone willing to test on any platform, however large or small.
http://www.aracnet.com/~fletch/linux/2.5.59/patch-2.5.59-mjb1.bz2
Since 2.5.58-mjb2 (~ = changed, + = added, - = dropped)
Notes: Lots of good stuff merged up with Linus. x440 distcontigmem seems to have problems in some circumstances, but APCI should work in this release.
merged with Linus:
