Megjelent Andrew Morton negyedik foltja a 2.5.44-es kernelhez. Egypár dolog el lett távolítva az előző patchekhez képest, mert némi stabilitási problémák voltak. Ha most ez a patch jól működik, akkor lehet tovább haladni.

Having a few stability problems so most of the new things have been removed. Once this thing is working properly we can start moving forward again.
If the people who had problem with -mm4 could please retest? If problems remain, please try popping off shpte-ng.patch.
Also be suspicious of CONFIG_PREEMPT=y. For me, with preempt, smp and spinlock debugging the kernel dies immediately doing an unlock of already-unlocked kernel_flag when bringing up the first migration thread. That's on base 2.5.44. May not be a preempt problem; could be that preempt is simply exposing it.

The NUMA driverfs interfaces from Matt Dobson. Queued up in experimental/ too. It all adds only a few hundred bytes to a non-NUMA build.
