Linus Torvalds: Linux 2.6.11

Kernel.org
Mirrors

Full
Changelog

Ok,
there it is. Only small stuff lately–as promised. Shortlog from
-rc5 appended, nothing exciting there, mostly some fixes from
various code checkers (like fixed init sections, and some coverity
tool finds).

So it’s now _officially_ all bug-free.

Linus
