Linux 5.10.196

Linux 5.10.196

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

I'm announcing the release of the 5.10.196 kernel.

This release is only needed by any 5.10.y user that uses configfs, it
resolves a regression in 5.10.195 in that subsystem.  Note that many
kernel subsystems use configfs for configuration so to be safe, you
probably want to upgrade if you are not sure.

The updated 5.10.y git tree can be found at:
	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-5.10.y
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
	https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=summary

thanks,

greg k-h
