  • Lots of little fixes, mainly
  • Numerous scheduling latency fixes, mainly in the ext3 area.

    This is a first pass – these patches need redoing and a bit of
    infrastructure consolidation.

  • Outta here: I won’t be in a position to handle patches until
    July 26. Off to
    http://www.tech-forum.org/upcoming/open_source_software_06-10-04.htm

    and then Kernel Summit and then OLS.

Changes since 2.6.7-mm7:
