It contains a relatively small number of changes: XFS sync, SPARC64 sync, USB gadget updates, couple of libata fixes, amongst others. Also a networking update, containing fixes for following recently discovered security issues: CAN-2004-1137 IGMP vulnerabilities - local priveledge escalation and remote DoS: http://isec.pl/vulnerabilities/isec-0018-igmp.txt CAN-2004-1016 scm_send local DoS: http://isec.pl/vulnerabilities/isec-0019-scm.txt Summary of changes from v2.4.29-pre1 to v2.4.29-pre2 ============================================ : o Correct /dev/mptctl major number in Configure.help : o [SPARC64]: Add SMB_IOC_GETMOUNTUID32 to compat ioctl table : o VM documentation fix: vm_anon_lru default is 0 Adrian Bunk: o remove bouncing email address of Deanna Bonds o add missing SCSI_SATA_AHCI Configure.help entry o USB_ETH{,_RNDIS} EXPERIMENTAL dependencies o let SCSI_SATA_NV depend on EXPERIMENTAL o Update email address of Philip Blundell o update email address of Andrea Arcangeli Cal Peake: o remove obsolete PIIX config help Chris Wright: o proc_tty.c warning fix o [IPV4/IPV6]: IGMP source filter fixes Christoph Hellwig: o [XFS] handle nfs requesting ino 0 gracefully o [XFS] fix handling of bad inodes o [XFS] remove useless S_ISREG check in ->mmap and ->mprotect o [XFS] split pagebuf_get, use get/read_flags correctly o [XFS] Fix declaration of _pagebuf_find to not be static o [XFS] handle inode creation race o [XFS] call the right function in pagebuf_readahead David Brownell: o usb gadget updates: core o usb gadget updates: ether/rndis o usb gadget updates: Minor update to handle more hardware David S.
