This kernel does:
- various small but important networking fixes from Davem (thanks). One
of them is the "anti-nagle" bit to allow programs that know what they
are doing to avoid nagling by telling the kernel so. This is mainly
things like Web servers and ftp-servers that can use this option
together with "sendfile()".
- scheduling timeout interface change: the new interface is much more
logical than the old one, and allows us to get the jiffies wrap-around
case right. Thanks to Andrea Arcangeli.
- Various driver updates: specialix, sonycd,
- Memory management fixups. Handle out-of-memory conditions correctly,
and handle high memory load much more gracefully.
- sparc and PowerPC architecture updates
- 3c509 SMP fix, tlan PCI probe update.
- scsi driver updates: ncr53c8xx, aic7xxx, dc390
- filesystem updates: autofs, hfs, umsdos
Go, test, be happy,
Linus
