Linux 2.6.28-rc6

From: Linus Torvalds
Date: Thu Nov 20 2008 - 18:39:54 EST



It's been pretty quiet, and I'm hoping it will continue to be so, because
I'm off for my yearly scuba-diving trip. And so, before I go away (no
under-water email), here's a new -rc.

It's really CIFS and mips updates, with some updates and code movement in
drivers/net, and simply a fair number of small fixes here and there. The
dirstat says:

4.8% arch/mips/rb532/
5.3% arch/mips/
10.9% arch/
16.2% drivers/net/
26.6% drivers/
40.1% fs/cifs/
41.8% fs/
4.1% kernel/trace/
6.7% kernel/
8.0% net/

and the full diffstat has a lot of one- and two-liners spread out
everywhere, but an excerpt from the shortlog is probably even more
indicative of the level of exciting fixing going on:

fbdev: clean the penguin's dirty feet

and you guys can figure out what it's all about on your own.

We have regressions fixed (the "vmalloc fails easily" is probably the one
that more people may actually be hitting in practice), and we have a few
more to go, but I really hope that we'll have a quiet week, and by the
time I come back you will all have tested it extensively and sent me fixes
for any regressions found.

Please don't disappoint me.

Linus
