Linux 2.6.32.38

Linux 2.6.32.38

[Greg KH]

I'm announcing the release of the 2.6.32.38 kernel.

It's a bugfix for the 2.6.32.37 kernel that only affects people who use
the network RDS protocol.  If you don't use that, then don't worry about
this release.

The updated 2.6.32.y git tree can be found at:
        git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/longterm/linux-2.6.32.y.git
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
        http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/longterm/linux-2.6.32.y.git;a=summary

thanks,

greg k-h
