README for mm-of-the-moment:

This is a snapshot of my -mm patch queue. Uploaded at random hopefully
more than once a week.

You will need quilt to apply these patches to the latest Linus release (5.x
or 5.x-rcY). The series file is in broken-out.tar.gz and is duplicated in
https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/series

The file broken-out.tar.gz contains two datestamp files: .DATE and
.DATE-yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss. Both contain the string yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss,
followed by the base kernel version against which this patch series is to
be applied.

This tree is partially included in linux-next. To see which patches are
included in linux-next, consult the `series' file. Only the patches
within the #NEXT_PATCHES_START/#NEXT_PATCHES_END markers are included in
linux-next.

mm-cma-print-region-name-on-failure.patch:

This causes a printk format warning on i386 (these used to be readable):

because the type of count is not the same as the type of cma->count.

Furthermore, are you sure that cma->count is the same value as count?
I'm not.

Good catch. Sorry, it was not intentional.


(also s/convienience/convenience/ in the patch description)

Thanks! I have fixed these and sent v2.
