Subject: [uml-devel] [patch 0/6] latest bugfixes for 2.6.12
Date: Tue, 10 May 2005 01:10:15 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200505100110.16920.blaisorblade@yahoo.it> (raw)
Here are some more fixes intended for 2.6.12 (and well tested). Can you merge
them soon, Andrew? Thanks.
The first is a particularly bad one since it shows up when you *start*
compiling UML (due to a quilt patch -> normal patch conversion problem, a
file wasn't actually deleted, but it was when applied through quilt). Was
this too quick a merge, maybe? What's your "merging policy" (if any) for
patches?
Also, I had marked some of the patches I sent as needing some staging time in
-mm (especially "uml: redo console locking"), while I had marked other ones
as needing immediate merge. Jeff instead has sent some "cleanup / groundwork
for future work" (which anyway were mostly trivial) together with some urgent
fixes.
Actually they aren't a problem (especially because UML has almost no support
for SMP) however this policy risks breaking things.
We had the exactly opposite problem for 2.6.10 release - some important fixes
which were sent by Jeff just before 2.6.10 release to be merged in it (but
which weren't explicitly marked as such) were merged in 2.6.10-mm1.
