I tried applying them on 2.6.12-git4, 2.6.12-mm1, mm2, 2.6.12.1, but to no avail. Many hunks are failing in each of the patch. I guess when the first is failing others are bound to.. Also, i m trying to apply the patches in the following order : [patch 1] mm: PG_free flag [patch 2] mm: speculative get_page [patch 3] radix tree: lookup_slot [patch 4] radix tree: lockless readside [patch 5] mm: lockless pagecache lookups [patch 6] mm: spinlock tree_lock This sequence is correct....right? Thanks, Dave
