Linux 3.15-rc5

Yes, I'm aware that this is two days early. The normal schedule hasbeen for me to do Sunday releases, but this time around I have acombination of travel (which would have pushed the release to Saturdaymorning from the airport as is oft my wont when traveling) and thefact that rc5 has actually already grown to be larger than rc3 or rc4were.So instead of pushing it to the last minute before I board a plane andam off-line for a week, I decided that there is absolutely zero reasonfor that kind of just-under-the-wire release timing. I'd rather do aleisurely release on a Friday afternoon than a hurried one tomorrowmorning before then disappearing for a week.Anyway, enough explaining. rc5 is out there, and while I'd have beenhappier if it had been as small as rc4 was, it seems to all be solidfixes (famous last words). The interesting dcache list corruption Imentioned as being pending for rc4 is in, and it would be lovely ifyou have any VFS layer stress-testing that interacts with memorypressure, but the race was tiny to begin with, and the fix actuallycleaned things up a lot and removed more lines than it added, so Ifeel good about it.Apart from that one interesting really core change (where "reallycore" is defined as "an area I personally care about and muck aroundwith", and not meant to be a value statement in any other way ;), itall looks boringly familiar: 55% drivers, 20% architecture updates,and 25% misc (filesystems, core networking, VM, etc).And while rc5 may be bigger than rc3/4 were, it's not like it isworrying. This merge window was bigger than most, and the fact thatrc5 is then slightly bigger than most isn't something that worries meovermuch. And since rc4 was smaller than usual, it all evens out.But I really *will* be entirely unreachable all next week, so get yourtesting in, because the -git tree will be very quiet.                 Linus
