Linux 4.10-rc2

From: Linus Torvalds
Date: Sun Jan 01 2017 - 17:50:12 EST


Hey, it's been a really slow week between Christmas Day and New Years
Day, and I am not complaining at all.

It does mean that rc2 is ridiculously and unrealistically small. I
almost decided to skip rc2 entirely, but a small little meaningless
release every once in a while never hurt anybody. So here it is.

The only even remotely noticeable work here is the DAX fixups that
really arguably should have been merge window material but depended on
stuff during this merge window and were delayed until rc2 due to that.
Even that wasn't big, and the rest is trivial small fixes.

I'm expecting things to start picking up next week as people recover
from the holidays.
