The -test7 kernel is out there now - I'm not reaching bkbits.net, but it's
on the other BK sites, and the tar-ball and patches are uploading to
kernel.org right now.
The biggest part of the test7 patches are:
s390 update
DVB update
NFS (v4 in particular) update
cpufreq updates
ACPI update
A lot of the rest are basically a lot of small onelines, along with fairly
minor updates (networking fixes for shared skb's for remaining cases,
janitorials, cleanups etc).
The more interesting thing is that I and Andrew are trying to calm down
development, and I do _not_ want to see patches that don't fix a real and
clear bug. In other words, the "cleanup and janitorial" stuff is on hold,
and -test8 and then -test9 should be for _stability_ fixes only.
In other words, this should calm things down so that by the end of October
we can look at the state of 2.6.0 without having a lot of noise from "not
strictly necessary" stuff.

Stephen Lord:
[XFS] Be consistent about when we dump error messages. Make sure
the hex component of an error message only comes out when the
message does.
[XFS] use dev_t less in xfs
[XFS] Switch pagebuf hashing to be based on the block_device
address rather than the dev_t. Should give better distribution. Mod
from Al Viro.
Remove dead file xfs_attr_fetch.c
[XFS] Remove dead flags
[XFS] remove unused va_fsid field
[XFS] remove dead function xfs_trans_iput
[XFS] Fix a broken interaction between a buffered read into an
unwritten extent and a direct write
[XFS] Fix build
[XFS] fix merge error in pagebuf flush logic, bogus spinlock obtain
was left in the code.
[XFS] fix the other half of the merge snafu
[XFS] fix log recovery report string formatting
[XFS] Re-work pagebuf & xfs stats to use per-cpu variables - big
globals that are written all the time
[XFS] Close some holes in the metadata flush logic used during
unmount, make sure we have no pending I/O completion calls for
metadata, and that we only keep hold of metadata buffers for I/O
completion if we want to. Still not perfect, but better than it
was.
[XFS] When calculating the number of pages to probe for an
unwritten extent, use the size of the extent, not the page count of
the pagebuf which is initialized to zero.
[XFS] Either handle preemption with get/put or not, but don't get
without a put! Fix code for preemptable kernels.
[XFS] Code cleanup
[XFS] Code cleanup
[XFS] small cleanup

Trond Myklebust:
UDP round trip timer fix. Modify Karn's algorithm so that we
inherit timeouts from previous requests.
Make the client act correctly if the RPC server's asserts that it
does not support a given program, version or procedure call.
Fix up hangs with the upcall mechanism for RPCSEC_GSS and the NFSv4
idmapper.
Increase the NFS readahead so that we at least fill the RPC slot
table.
Fix an Oops in the NFSv4 asynchronous unlink code. The v4 getattr
"bitmap" was allocated on the stack.
Clean up the nfs_fhget() function. Have the called pass the
superblock as a parameter instead of passing it in the form
Rename the struct "nfs4_shareowner". The name was confusing and
didn't really relate to any of the RFCs.
The NFSv4 state model assumes that the client machine identifies
itself to the server once and once only.
Simplify the synchronous NFS read call interface by passing a
pointer to a filled nfs_read_data structure (the same struct used
by the asynchronous function calls)
Simplify NFS synchronous write call interface. Pass a pointer to a
filled nfs_write_data struct like we do for asynchronous function
calls
NFSv4 state model update
Clean up the nfs4_stateid and nfs4_verifier typedefs
Ulrich Drepper:
[NET]: Use task->tgid instead of task->pid in SCM credentials code
Urban Widmark:
[SMBFS]: Create OLD_TO_NEW_foo macros in highuid.h and use them
