They aren't in linux-next, mmotm, or Linus' tree. Did these get dropped? Is the revert still needed?Sorry. my fault. yes, it is needed. currently, Some LTP was fail since Mel's "mm: mempolicy: Let vma_merge and vma_split handle vma->vm_policy linkages" patch.
The series still isn't queued anywhere. Are you planning on resending it again, or should it get picked up in a particular tree? josh -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
