Bligh" , Andy Whitcroft , Srivatsa Vaddagiri List-ID: They say better strike when the iron is hot. Since we have so many people discussing the memory controller, I would like to access the readiness of the memory controller for mainline merge. Given that we have some time until the merge window, I'd like to set aside some time (from my other work items) to work on the memory controller, fix review comments and defects. In the past, we've received several useful comments from Rik Van Riel, Lee Schermerhorn, Peter Zijlstra, Hugh Dickins, Nick Piggin, Paul Menage and code contributions and bug fixes from Hugh Dickins, Pavel Emelianov, Lee Schermerhorn, YAMAMOTO-San, Andrew Morton and KAMEZAWA-San. I apologize if I missed out any other names or contributions At the VM-Summit we decided to try the current double LRU approach for memory control. At this juncture in the space-time continuum, I seek your support, feedback, comments and help to move the memory controller -- Thanks, Balbir Singh Linux Technology Center IBM, ISTL -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
