Subject: Linux 2.6.27-rc9


I know, I know, I said that -rc8 was supposed to be the last -rc, and that 
I'd release 2.6.27 this weekend. 

I lied. Sue me. I merged two subtle regression fixes today, and while both 
looked perfectly fine and had been tested by the people involved in the 
regressions, I just couldn't bring myself to then just slap a "v2.6.27" on 
it without some more testing.

So I'd like to get at least a couple of days of feedback on those fixes. 
It also felt like a good idea to have an -rc with the patches that should 
fix the (much-publicized) e1000e firmware corruption bugs. I know people 
inside Intel are still looking at it, so there may be more changes in that 
area, but I think we're set for 2.6.27 - but again, let's just do an -rc 
here.

If things go well, I might do a final release mid-week, otherwise it's 
"next weekend" again.

The dirstat looks like the normal one: half arch code (mainly due to some 
mips updates), and 30% drivers, with a smattering of other things (eg 
sctp). But the things people would likely _care_ about are the e1000e 
patches and the HP Turion-based laptop performance regression thing and 
an GART mapping issue.

But here's the dirstat for an "overview" anyway:

  35.3% arch/mips/kernel/
   4.5% arch/mips/sibyte/swarm/
  42.5% arch/mips/
   3.7% arch/powerpc/boot/dts/
   4.4% arch/powerpc/
  52.9% arch/
  11.3% drivers/ide/mips/
  11.8% drivers/ide/
   4.9% drivers/media/video/
   6.6% drivers/media/
   3.8% drivers/net/e1000e/
  29.2% drivers/
   5.0% include/asm-mips/
   5.4% include/
   3.5% net/sctp/
   4.4% net/

and the shortlog is appended.

			Linus

PS. I already bugged people on the git lists with this, but since I'm 
totally shameless and can't help but hope that some random kernel person 
also does tcl/tk or just wants to help improve my kids-time-tracker, I can 
just point to

	http://torvalds-family.blogspot.com/2008/10/tracking-time-kids-spend-online.html

and hope that somebody would like to make that GUI better and/or feel like 
they really want to do a "management interface" too ;)
