I dont plan to. Now is not the time to do this. We also need to understand the

Greetings!  

Will this kernel still have the 'VM: do_try_to_free_memory failed' bug
that is plaguing us here?  If so, my I suggest adding a merge of
Andrea's fix on the TODO list for 2.2.18 final?

Take care,

Ah. Very good.

This is also good.

2.2.18 looks most promising of all 2.2 series kernels so far. No
problems with 2.2.18pre15 at home currently; just reiserfs needs manual
patching in headers since it interferes with additional patches. Not a
2.2.18pre problem, though.

Its already marked experimental, no problem.

Its called 'I can apply this last diff just a minute before release, it cant 
possibly go wrong'.

Fixed in my tree

Alan --

As the USB Mass Storage driver maintainer, I'd like to ask you to mark the
USB Mass Storage driver as EXPERIMENTAL for the 2.2.x kernel series.

This is an unsupported, known buggy backport.  It's prone to OOPSing and
lockups.  Unfortunatly, I don't have time to fix all of these problems --
the original design assumed the presence of the new SCSI error-handling
code, and without that, workarounds will be difficult.

Any particular reason why the new asm-m68k/*.h headers ended up under
asm-i386? :-)

I know this makes more work for you Alan, but all of these silly
errors (bogus reject files left in the tree, mistakedly leaving
vmlinux.lds autogenerated files in the tree, etc.) would have a
minuscule chance of surviving if you made prex-->prex+1 diffs yourself
and read them over carefully before each release.

I have to make these myself to merge my tree at each pre-patch and
this is how I find all sorts of errors like this one.
