[patch 00/46] 2.6.27.7-stable review

[Greg KH]

Ok, let's try this again.  The 2.6.27.7-rc1 patch was a mess.  It had a
patch that was applied corrupted, and some other problems.  So here's a
second try at this kernel release.  I've added a few more patches that
have gone into Linus's tree and people have asked for, so it is bigger
than 2.6.27.7-rc1 was.  Because of this, I'm resetting the review period
clock to start over, as this all needs a good review.

There are 46 patches in this series, all will be posted as a response to
this one.  If anyone has any issues with these being applied, please let
us know.  If anyone is a maintainer of the proper subsystem, and wants
to add a Signed-off-by: line to the patch, please respond with it.

These patches are sent out with a number of different people on the Cc:
line.  If you wish to be a reviewer, please email stable@xxxxxxxxxx to
add your name to the list.  If you want to be off the reviewer list,
also email us.

Responses should be made by November 19, 2008, 07:00:00 UTC.  Anything
received after that time might be too late.

The whole patch series can be found in one patch at:
	kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/stable-review/patch-2.6.27.7-rc2.gz
and the diffstat can be found below.


thanks,
