Hi David, I am in two minds over this, I agree that getting the sn2 code cleaned up is a big win and a lot of the changes like those I posted are clearly bug fixes (not checking kmalloc returns should always be fixed). However having a big patch will take time and means we will have to operate with an internal tree until we get the whole thing into shape to push, but the seperate tree is one of the things we have been trying to avoid with 2.6. What came first, the chicken or the soft boiled egg ;-( Cheers, Jes
