Updated git tree for MM patches??

Updated git tree for MM patches??

[Florian Fainelli]

Hi Andrew, Johannes,

The MAINTAINERS file for MEMORY MANAGEMENT lists the following git tree:

git://github.com/hnaz/linux-mm.git

however it does not look like it has been updated in the past 5 months 
or so as master still points to 5.17-rc7-mm1

Is there another git tree that other memory management related 
subsystems use for development?

Thanks!

AFAIK, hnaz/linux-mm was the only git mirror of mmotm series.

I keep a tree for memblock, but it follows Linus' tree rather than mmotm.
I think Vlastimil's slab tree does the same.

I personally fetch and apply the mmotm patches using my simple and buggy
script[1] and periodically upload to my tree[2].

[1] https://github.com/sjp38/mmotm
[2] https://git.kernel.org/sj/h/mmotm-assembled-by-sj


Thanks,
SJ

IIRC Michal Hocko also used to maintain one, in a different way, but that
was given up even longer ago.

linux-next seems to maintain its branch that's merged to the final next like
this:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/log/?h=akpm
but that means getting the whole of next, not just mmotm. Maybe the branch
'akpm-current/current' could be also exposed separately?

Yeah as that's how development should be done in general, the trees should
be independent if possible.

Oops, that was a bug in my script. I had to work around a behavior
change in wget and it looks like it started failing quietly in the
next wget version.

All fixed now and the tree is uptodate again. Thanks for the report.

And thank you for fixing it quickly, looking good now!
