My patch set sits on top of that. Chances are that once the -mm kernel goes upstream (in 2.6.25-rc1), I can start building on top of that. OTOH, maybe I could get my patch series onto a recent 2.6.23.X with minimal chainsaw effort. > I see that you have an old port to a FC7-based 2.6.21 here: > http://people.redhat.com/riel/vmsplit/ > > Also, do you have a public git repo that you regularly publish to for > this patchset?

Since there is demand for them to be downloadable from somewhere, I'll also start putting them on http://people.redhat.com/riel/ -- All rights reversed. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
