2.6.22 merge plans
Andrew Morton has posted his merge plans
for the 2.6.22 kernel cycle. It seems he fears things aren't off to a good
start: " The overall stability in recent -mm's was not sufficiently
high and we ran out of time to find all the bugs. I shouldn't have merged
all those patches last week - they contained an exceptional amount of
garbage. This all means that more bugs than usual will probably leak into
mainline, and we'll have to fix them there." Almost 2000 changesets
have been merged for 2.6.22 (as of this writing); much more will be
included before this merge window closes.
Some highlights include lguest, the signalfd work, the SLUB allocator, and possibly the
memory usage profiling
patches.

2.6.22 merge plans Posted May 1, 2007 15:14 UTC (Tue) by ttrafford (guest, #15383) [Link] Another big merge for 2.6.22 is the ivtv driver!
IVTV Posted May 1, 2007 16:51 UTC (Tue) by corbet (editor, #1) [Link] IVTV is indeed a big merge. It's not in Andrew's plan, though, because (1) it's coming through the video tree, and (2) it's already been merged. People have been waiting for that one for a long time.

This has taken so long that I almost thought it would never actually happen. :)

While people talked about it for years, no idea when Xen will make it.
