It contains one bugfix, disabling CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE that could cause memory corruption. This is believed to be the source of the recent e1000 hardware b0rkage, and all users of the 2.6.27 kernel series are encouraged to either disable the option, or to upgrade to this kernel version which will force you to do so. I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between 2.6.27 and 2.6.27.1 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 thanks, greg k-h ------------ Makefile | 2 +- kernel/trace/Kconfig | 3 ++- 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) Greg Kroah-Hartman (1): Linux 2.6.27.1 Steven Rostedt (1): disable CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE due to possible memory corruption on module unload
