Linus Torvalds: Linux 2.6.11-rc5

Kernel.org

Full Changelog

Hey, I hoped -rc4 was the last one, but we had some laptop
resource conflicts, various ppc TLB flush issues, some possible
stack overflows in networking and a number of other details
warranting a quick -rc5 before the final 2.6.11.

This time it’s really supposed to be a quickie, so people who
can, please check it out, and we’ll make the real 2.6.11 asap.

Mostly pretty small changes (the largest is a new SATA driver
that crept in, our bad). But worth another quick round.

Linus
