There are still a few things hanging around. I have these queued: aio-fix-buggy-put_ioctx-call-in-aio_complete-v2.patch kexec-avoid-migration-of-already-disabled-irqs-ia64.patch net-smc911x-match-up-spin-lock-unlock.patch rtc-pcf8563-detect-polarity-of-century-bit-automatically.patch alpha-fix-epoll-syscall-enumerations.patch revert-blockdev-direct-io-back-to-2619-version.patch scsi-sd-udev-accessing-an-uninitialized-scsi_disk-results-in-a-crash.patch altix-more-acpi-prt-support.patch which I'll get through to Linus later today. Plus: - x86_64-irq-simplfy-__assign_irq_vector.patch and x86_64-irq-handle-irqs-pending-in-irr-during-irq-migration.patch which are big and scary. Am awaiting feedback from Andi and Eric on what to do with these. - A fix from Trond for http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7923. Am awaiting acks to merge that. - sky2-flow-control-off.patch from shemminger which I assume Linus will be merging anyway. - v9fs_vfs_mkdir-fix-a-double-free.patch which I guess I'll merge unless Eric suddenly nacks it. - I have r8169-fix-a-race-between-pci-probe-and-dev_open.patch floating about, but I forget its status. - I have efi-x86-pass-firmware-call-parameters-on-the-stack.patch, but I'm not sure it's right and unless something really rapid happens, we'll ship with that bug unfixed. - enable-mouse-button-23-emulation-for-x86-macs.patch looks simple enough, but I'm waiting for Ben to wake up. - x86-fix-vdso-mapping-for-aout-executables.patch probably works OK, but Andi points out that it'd be better to implement this with attribute-weak. So I guess 2.6.20 will ship with non-functional a.out on i386, like 2.6.29. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
