This allows us to create a standalone page migration patchset (on top of which the rest of the memory hotplug patches apply). A snapshot of these patches is available at: http://sr71.net/patches/2.6.10/2.6.10-mm1-mhp-test7/ A number of us are interested in using the page migration patchset by itself: (1) Myself, for a manual page migration project I am working on. (This is for migrating jobs from one set of nodes to another under batch scheduler control). (2) Marcello, for his memory defragmentation work. (3) Of course, the memory hotplug project itself. (there are probably other "users" that I have not enumerated here). Unfortunately, none of these "users" of the page migration patchset are ready to be merged into -mm yet. The question at the moment is, "Would you be interesting in merging the page migration patchset now, or should we wait until one or more of (1) to (3) above is also ready for merging?" (Historically, lkml has waited for a user of new functionality before merging that functionality, so I expect that to be your answer; in that case, please consider this note to be an preliminary notice that we will be submitting such patches for merging in the next month or so. :-) ) -- Best Regards, Ray ----------------------------------------------- Ray Bryant 512-453-9679 (work) 512-507-7807 (cell) raybry@sgi.com raybry@austin.rr.com The box said: "Requires Windows 98 or better", so I installed Linux. -----------------------------------------------
