6/2.6.18-rc4/2.6.18-rc4-mm2/


- Various random stuff.

- I haven't been pulling Greg's post-2.6.18-rc4 tree due
to various git woes
  which I haven't gotten around to working out how to fix. 
But most of it
  will be here anyway.

- The automounter is known to be a bit broken.

- Alpha coredumps won't work right.



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-tr
ees.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
majordomovger.kernel.org

- 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.

- Semi-daily snapshots of the -mm lineup are uploaded to
  ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/mm/ and
are announced on
  the mm-commits list.
