All users of the 2.6.27 kernel series must upgrade. Note, this is my LAST release of the 2.6.27 kernel series. I will be passing this on to someone else, but I can't guarantee any release cycle of it anymore, that is up to the new maintainer, not I. Also note that I can't help out with any .27 kernel bugs anymore either as I will be officially retiring my only .27 machine now as well. It was a good run, encompasing 57 releases, over 791 days, and included 1596 patches (not the largest of any stable release series, .32 has that beat already). Speaking of .32, I'd _strongly_ encourage all existing .27 users to seriously look into migrating to the .32 kernel tree at this point in time as well. The updated 2.6.27.y git tree can be found at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.27.y.git and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.27.y.git;a=summary Also, this is the last .27 release in the stable/ directory, all future ones will be in the longterm/ directory, so please anticipate that for any scripts you might have in place right now. thanks, greg k-h ------------ Makefile | 2 - arch/arm/lib/findbit.S | 6 ++- arch/um/os-Linux/time.c | 2 - arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c | 1 block/blk-map.c | 2 + drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c | 5 ++- drivers/char/vt_ioctl.c | 11 +++--- drivers/media/video/ivtv/ivtvfb.c | 2 + drivers/usb/atm/ueagle-atm.c | 6 +-- drivers/usb/core/devio.c | 7 ++-- drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.c | 10 +++--- drivers/usb/misc/cypress_cy7c63.c | 6 +-- drivers/usb/misc/iowarrior.c | 1 drivers/usb/misc/sisusbvga/sisusb.c | 1 drivers/usb/misc/trancevibrator.c | 2 - drivers/usb/misc/usbled.c | 2 - drivers/usb/storage/sierra_ms.c | 2 - fs/bio.c | 14 ++++++++ fs/ecryptfs/inode.c | 4 ++ include/net/x25.h | 4 ++ ipc/compat.c | 6 +++ ipc/compat_mq.c | 5 +++ ipc/sem.c | 2 + ipc/shm.c | 1 kernel/exit.c | 9 +++++ lib/percpu_counter.c | 1 mm/internal.h | 2 - mm/memory_hotplug.c | 2 - mm/mempolicy.c | 2 - net/can/bcm.c | 2 - net/core/ethtool.c | 2 - net/core/stream.c | 8 ++-- net/decnet/af_decnet.c | 2 + net/econet/af_econet.c | 29 ++++++----------- net/ipv4/tcp.c | 11 ++++-- net/ipv4/tcp_input.c | 2 + net/ipv4/udp.c | 4 +- net/ipv4/xfrm4_policy.c | 4 +- net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_conntrack_reasm.c | 1 net/ipv6/route.c | 28 ++++++++++++++--- net/irda/iriap.c | 3 + net/irda/parameters.c | 4 +- net/rose/af_rose.c | 4 +- net/sctp/protocol.c | 4 +- net/socket.c | 4 ++ net/x25/af_x25.c | 47 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- net/x25/x25_facilities.c | 32 ++++++++++++++----- net/x25/x25_in.c | 17 ++++++++-- 48 files changed, 244 insertions(+), 84 deletions(-) Alan Stern (1): USB: EHCI: fix obscure race in ehci_endpoint_disable Dan Rosenberg (5): ipc: initialize structure memory to zero for compat functions sys_semctl: fix kernel stack leakage DECnet: don't leak uninitialized stack byte V4L/DVB: ivtvfb: prevent reading uninitialized stack memory x25: Prevent crashing when parsing bad X.25 facilities David S.
