Can you please pull percpu#for-next into linux-next?
Hello,
What do I need to do to get a tree pulled into linux-next rounds? The tree in question is
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu.git for-next
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu.git;a=shortlog;h=for-next
and contains percpu related changes scheduled for the next (2.6.32) merge window. The tree touches a lot of archs and percpu users so it'll probably cause some headache during the devel cycle.
Also, is there some guide I can read about linux-next?
Thanks.

You need to ask. :-)

You also need to give me the name(s) of people to inform about any issues I have with the tree (defaults to you).

Since it is for 2.6.32, I will only add it after 2.6.31-rc1 is released.
What I tell everyone: all patches/commits in the tree/series must have been:
posted to a relevant mailing list
reviewed
unit tested
destined for the next merge window (or the current release)
*before* they are included. The linux-next tree is for integration testing and to lower the impact of conflicts between subsystems in the next merge window.
Basically, this should be just what you would send to Linus (or ask him to fetch). It is allowed to be rebased if you deem it necessary.

There is a web site which is mostly useful:

Me, Rusty Russell, Christoph Lameter and Ingo Molnar should do.

Yeap, will keep it that way.
