That's great news, thanks! I'd greatly appreciate if you could test #v13 too as I posted it. It already passed GRU and KVM regressions tests and it should work fine for XPMEM too. You can ignore the purely cosmetical error I managed to introduce in mm_lock_cmp (I implemented a BUG_ON that would have trigger if that wasn't a purely cosmetical issue, and it clearly doesn't trigger so you can be sure it's only cosmetical ;). Once I get confirmation that everyone is ok with #v13 I'll push a #v14 before Saturday with that cosmetical error cleaned up and mmu_notifier_unregister moved at the end (XPMEM will have unregister don't worry). I expect the 1/13 of #v14 to go in -mm and then 2.6.26. > I have a bug in xpmem which shows up on our 8x oversubscription tests, > but that is clearly my bug to figure out. Unfortunately it only shows This is what I meant. As opposed we don't have any known bug left in this area, infact we need mmu_notifiers to _fix_ issues I identified that can't be fixed efficiently without mmu notifiers, and we need the mmu notifier to go productive ASAP. > up on a 128 processor machine so I have 1024 stack traces to sort > through each time it fails.

I don't think vendor distro are less likely to take the patches 2-12 if 1/N (aka mmu-notifier-core) is merged in 2.6.26 especially at the light of kabi. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
