2.6.0-test11-mjb3
From: Martin J. Bligh
Date: Mon Dec 15 2003 - 17:55:03 EST
The patchset contains mainly performance, scalability and NUMA stuff,
and anything else that stops things from irritating me. It's meant to be
pretty stable, not so much a testing ground for new stuff.
I'd be very interested in feedback from anyone willing to test on any
platform, however large or small.
