I think what happened is (the patch attached to the "removed from -mm" mail looks like this): - patch-v2 merged into -mm - patch-v1 merged into -mm as part of xen series - merge conflict, the bits which are in patch-v1 got removed from patch-v2 to solve that, both patches in -mm - patch-v1 got removed with other xen bits due to the conflict with zachs patches. - mm kernel has an incomplete patch-v2 now => boom. So it isn't a problem with the original patch, it just got corrupted during conflict resolving. cheers, Gerd -- Gerd Hoffmann
