Hopefully these are the final two bug fixes before 2.6.15 (hint, hurry
up!).
The update is available here:

The short changelog is:
James Bottomley:
o fix scsi_reap_target() device_del from atomic context
James Smart:
o fix for fc transport recursion problem
And the diffstat:

Heh. That's a new strategy. Not "ok, we're now as bug-clean as we can be",
but instead the "please please release soon, so that we won't have time to
fix anything else" ;)

Well practically, we're never bug free. What happens is that as the
tree stabilises, the arrival rate of the critical bugs increases fairly
exponentially. I measure this interval to be about 6 days now, so if
you release a kernel in the next six days I won't have to run around
like a mad thing trying to delay the kernel so I can QA and submit the
bug fix, whatever it is.
Of course, if you want to wait for all the critical bug fixes, there'll
be one in six days ... then twelve days after that ... then twenty
four ...
