- I'll cc linux-mm on this - the memory-management situation is complicated. - The overall stability in recent -mm's was not sufficiently high and we ran out of time to find all the bugs. I shouldn't have merged all those patches last week - they contained an exceptional amount of garbage. This all means that more bugs than usual will probably leak into mainline, and we'll have to fix them there. - I've been ducking most non-bugfix patches recently. I have ~200 feature and cleanup patches queued for later consideration, so people who sent those will be hearing from me eventually. extend-print_symbol-capability.patch reiserfs-suppress-lockdep-warning.patch rework-pm_ops-pm_disk_mode-kill-misuse.patch power-management-remove-firmware-disk-mode.patch power-management-implement-pm_opsvalid-for-everybody.patch power-management-force-pm_opsvalid-callback-to-be.patch add-kvasprintf.patch pm-include-eio-from-errno-baseh.patch Sent ia64-race-flushing-icache-in-do_no_page-path.patch People are still discussing this zlib-backout.patch A huge zlib revert patch.

I don't believe that this has had sufficient review and I'm sure that it hasn't had sufficient third-party testing. Most of the approbations thus far have consisted of people liking the overall idea, based on the changelogs and multi-year-old discussions. For such a large and core change I'd have expected more detailed reviewing effort and more third-party testing. And I STILL haven't made time to review the code in detail myself.

A fairly important and low-level way of exposing memory state to userspace, for developers. Matt still has a decent-sized todo list here. Might merge, might hold over for 2.6.23. lumpy-reclaim-v4.patch This is in a similar situation to the moveable-zone work.
