=== Highlights == * Attended Budapest summit, led maintainership and Android meetings. * Blogged maintainership meetings and published LWN article (http://lwn.net/Articles/443510/). * RCU priority-boosting commits accepted into mainline for 2.6.40. * Cheng Xu found a fix for the related scheduler bug, which is now in mainline. * Frederic Weisbecker found a fix for a bug in lock self-test that was resulting in RCU grace-period hangs, which I queued up in my -rcu tree. * Compiler-sensitive slowdowns located by Yinghai Lu, currently tracking this down.
== Miscellaneous == * Handled a license request. * Discussed the possibility of heavy-duty RCU correctness tools with researchers at Queen Mary University in London. * Discussed the possibility of formalizing Linux-kernel memory-barrier semantics with researchers at Cambridge University in Cambridge. * Queued a modification to RCU's fast-path in response to a code-generation complaint from Linus Torvalds.
