The usual form is, I believe, git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/willy/misc.git dmapool Otherwise people get all confused and think it's an empty tree (like I just did). > All the patches have been posted to linux-kernel before, and various > comments (and acks) have been taken into account. > > It's a fairly nice performance improvement, so would be good to get in. > It's survived a few hours of *mumble* high-stress database benchmark, > so I have high confidence in its stability. Could we please at least have a shortlog so we can find out what the patch titles are so we can google them so we can find out what the heck you're proposing we add to the kernel? It shouldn't be this hard! There were no replies to v2 of the patch series. It all looks reasonable from a quick scan (assuming the patches are unchanged since then). afaik these patches have been tested by nobody except thyself? -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
