ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.17-rc4/2.6.17-rc4-mm1/

- This tree contains a large number of new bugs^H^H^H^Hpatches.

- klibc (Kernel libc), as git-klibc.patch (Peter Anvin)

- Header cleanups for compatibility-with-userspace feasibility and for
the addition of the `make hdrinstall' target, as git-hdrcleanup.patch and
git-hdrinstall.patch (David Woodhouse)

- The cachefs patches are back (local-disk-based caching of network
filesystem files) (David Howells)

- Added the ecryptfs filesystem

- per-task delay accounting patches: more advanced process accounting,
plus an extensible interface for extended accounting.

- Many memory-management updates

- Plenty of other things

So if problems are found, please put extra effort into Cc:ing the correct
mailing list and/or developer on any reports, thanks.




Boilerplate:

- See the `hot-fixes' directory for any important updates to this patchset.

- To fetch an -mm tree using git, use (for example)

git fetch git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/smurf/linux-trees.git v2.6.16-rc2-mm1

- -mm kernel commit activity can be reviewed by subscribing to the
mm-commits mailing list.

echo "subscribe mm-commits" | mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

- If you hit a bug in -mm and it is not obvious which patch caused it, it is
most valuable if you can perform a bisection search to identify which patch
introduced the bug. Instructions for this process are at

http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/bisecting-mm-trees.txt

But beware that this process takes some time (around ten rebuilds and
reboots), so consider reporting the bug first and if we cannot immediately
identify the faulty patch, then perform the bisection search.

- When reporting bugs, please try to Cc: the relevant maintainer and mailing
list on any email.
