It's too late to merge this one. The destructor removal was merged last Friday. If we do not do it now then we have another API breakage in 2.6.24. > Honest, it's easier for everyone if we shelve this until late -rc's. Yes I thought that to be the appropriate time for such things too and I wanted to keep things the way they were until 2.6.24. But that no longer seems to be the case. The destructor patch was only merged a few days ago and it already breaks my other slab patches that I am holding. If we do this then lets do a comprehensive job. I do not want to get through another cycle of this next time. At some point all this slab API stuff should be done. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
