has stable-2.6.32.x rolled back to 2.6.32.18???

[James Harper]

This wiki page - http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps - says
that the kernel to use with 4.0.1 is 2.6.32.19:

"
pvops kernel git branches that require new IOAPIC setup hypercall from
Xen hypervisor 3.4.3 or 4.0.0 or newer to run as dom0:

* xen/stable-2.6.32.x - this is the long term maintained branch, based
on the kernel.org long term maintained Linux 2.6.32.x. This is the
default branch for Xen 4.0.1. Currently it's at 2.6.32.19. Changelog:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git;a=shortlog;h=xe
n/stable-2.6.32.x
"

When I look at the changelog URL it says that 2.6.32.18 is the latest,
and when I check it out using the instructions on the wiki page I also
get 2.6.32.18 not .19. On another server that I checked out sometime in
the last few weeks, it has 2.6.32.19 on branch stable-2.6.32.x. When I
now git pull on that server it tells me I'm ahead by ~110 commits.

Has something changed in the tree somewhere that has rolled back
stable-2.6.32.x?

2.6.32.19 contained some upstream fixes which broke the Xen toolstack so
xen.git was rolled back to 2.6.32.18. (specifically the new stack guard
page broke the toolstack's use of mlock.)

The 2.6.32.21-rc contains the fixes for that breakage so I guess we can
roll forwards again when that is released.

Yeah, it was rolled back to 2.6.32.18. I just fixed the wiki page.
