Subject: Linux 3.18.48

I'm announcing the release of the 3.18.48 kernel.

Wait, what?  Yeah, 3.18.48, you read that right.

Turns out there was a bug in 3.18.47 in one of the backports.  And a bug
in 3.18.27 as well, with one of the backports there.  And a very minor
issue in the 3.18.28 release, but no one cares about the debug messages
for a specific scsi driver, so you can just ignore that issue...

Anyway, here's a 3.18 release, hopefully the very last one, that fixes
the above mentioned issues, and a bunch of other basic build warnings
with "newer" versions of gcc (i.e. newer than when 3.18 was first
released.)  The build warning removals were added in order to help track
down the "real" issues mentioned above.  Having clean builds really does
help, otherwise you get blind to real issues.

So, if you rely on 3.18.y, you should upgrade.  But really, go use 4.4.y
or 4.9.y, those are both much better, and far more secure.

Oh, if you are _stuck_ on 3.18 (/me eyes his new phone), well, I might
have a plan for you, that first involves you yelling very loudly at your
hardware vendor and refusing to buy from them again unless they cut this
crap out.  After you properly vent to them, drop me an email and let's
see what we can come up with, you aren't in this sinking ship alone, and
it's obvious your vendor isn't going to help out...

The updated 3.18.y git tree can be found at:
	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-3.18.y
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
	http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=summary

thanks,

greg k-h
