The mm-of-the-moment snapshot 2010-02-03-20-09 has been uploaded to

and will soon be available at

git://zen-kernel.org/kernel/mmotm.git

It contains the following patches against 2.6.33-rc6:


In some config cases, this patch seems to have a problem:
sysctl-clean-up-vm-related-variable-declarations.patch

In mm/mmap.c:
+#ifdef HAVE_ARCH_PICK_MMAP_LAYOUT
+/* Used by each architecture's private code and sysctl. */
+int sysctl_legacy_va_layout;
+#endif

mm/mmap.c:92: error: expected identifier or '(' before numeric constant

I guess that sometimes sysctl_legacy_va_layout is a #define:
from include/linux/mm.h:

#ifdef CONFIG_SYSCTL
extern int sysctl_legacy_va_layout;
#else
#define sysctl_legacy_va_layout 0
#endif

and indeed the failing builds do not have CONFIG_SYSCTL enabled.

Thanks. This, I guess:

Yep, that works. Thanks.
