Sure glad Andrew's got the job of conducting this, not me ... The purpose of this message is to list several patches that are interacting, and the order that I'm guessing Andrew will end up taking them. I claim no authority, and at best very limited forecasting ability. This is just to put a source of possible confusions on the table, by running it up the flagpole, and inviting the shooting to begin. The following patches are colliding or interacting, listed in the order that I'm guessing they will end up going into *-mm, and with my guess of their current status: 1. Nick Piggin's sched_domains patches (in *-mm now) 2. Ashok Raj's CPU Hotplug patches for IA64 (sent back to author for repair) 3. Paul Jackson's bitmap/cpumask cleanup (in my workarea ready to submit) 4. John Reiser's bssprot (unrelated, except for ia64 friendly fire damage) 5. Matthew Dobson's nodemask_t (in Matthew's workarea, ready to submit) 6. Andi Kleen's numa placement (being reviewed now, I think) Actually, bssprot is independent, once it resolves some ia64 issue, and the last two (nodemask and numa) are sufficiently independent to go in parallel or reverse order. If you _wanted_, Andrew, to add to your current patch load, I'd be delighted to submit my final bitmap/cpumask cleanup now - I'm just guessing that you will politely ignore my offer. -- I won't rest till it's the best ...
