Yes, I try to not merge too much material late in the -rcs and in the merge window. Often it's not practical to merge things anyway, because people prepare patches against mainline, which is ancient history... > I have modified the patchset so now if rcu helpers are used from > rculist.h then fine otherwise gcc warns you that you're using the > helpers from list.h like this: > > init/foo.c:13: warning: ‘__deprecated_list_add_rcu’ is deprecated (declared > at include/linux/rculist.h:76) > > But the build process doesn't fail anymore. > > For that I added some ugly hacks in list.h and rculist.h but they > definitively should be removed for mainline inclusion.

I'm just about finished compilation-testing for 2.6.24-mm1 which is a shame. Please do a best-effort against 2.6.24-mm1 (hopefully I'll get that out tomorrow) and I'll slip it into -rc1 if it gets through cross-build testing without unfixable-with-my-patience-level problems. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
