According to the changelogs, mm-fix-null-ptr-dereference-in-__count_immobile_pages.patch fixes a known-to-occur oops. mm-__count_immobile_pages-make-sure-the-node-is-online.patch fixes a bug which might happen in the future if we change the node_zones layut? So I'm thinking that mm-fix-null-ptr-dereference-in-__count_immobile_pages.patch is 3.3 and -stable material, whereas this patch (mm-__count_immobile_pages-make-sure-the-node-is-online.patch) is 3.3 material. (Actually, it's 3.4 material which I shall stuff into 3.3 because the amount of MM material which we're putting into 3.3 is just off the charts and I fear that 3.4 will be similar) > > This is just in case the wrong one gets merged due to this thread > > getting lost in the noise of Andrew's inbox. It won't get lost, but there's a higher-than-usual chance of delays if the patch happens during the merge window: if I see a lengthy patch thread I'll move it into my to-apply folder for consideration later on. So I will look at it, but it might be after the merge window. We can still apply a fix after the merge window of course, but this all might end up leaving buggy code in the tree for longer than we'd like. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
