Running -next was never a completely smooth experience but for a past year it was more-or-less doable. However the last two months have been an absolute horror and I've been hitting issues way faster than I was able to trace/report them properly.. Right now I still have following *outstanding* issues (on just *one* machine/distribution): - Random (after some long hours) order:6 mode:0x8020 page allocation failure (when ipw2200 driver reloads firmware on firmware error). [ I had first thought that it was caused by SLQB (which got enabled as default somewhere along the way) but it also happens with SLUB and I have good reasons to believe that is caused by heavy mm changes first seen in next-20090618 (I've been testing next-20090617 for many days and it never happened there), the last confirmed release with the problem is next-20090728. ] - bdi warning, http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/15/262, (this one goes back to at least next-20090708, reconfirmed with next-20090806). - Random OOPSes on shutdown (since the last week or so, didn't have time to investigate them). - Lockup on stopping iptables (I've just noticed it in next-20090806, seems to also happen with next-20090731). I give up and I'm back to using Linus' tree.. :(
