Linux 2.6.30

From: Linus Torvalds
Date: Tue Jun 09 2009 - 23:47:28 EST



As mentioned last week, -rc8 was the last -rc, and there really isn't any
point in delaying the real release any more.

I'm sure we've missed something, and I know we have some regressions
pending. At the same time, we do need the coverage of a eral release, and
on the whole it looks pretty good. We've fixed a few regressions in the
last few days, and there's always 2.6.30.x.

The appended shortlog from 2.6.29-rc8 is not very interesting, but it's
about as good as it gets. Not a lot of changes (just 72 non-merges,
according to git rev-list), and most of those are pretty small and
trivial. We're talking mostly one-liners, with just a couple of them
standing out (in fact, just mainly the DPMS handling cleanup in
drm_crtc_helper.c)

As to the whole set of changes since 2.6.29, the best place to look is
probably just

http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_30

as usual. One thing that doesn't seem to be mentioned there is that we're
hopefully now done with the suspend/resume irq re-architecting, and have
switched to a new world order. Although I suspect lots of details will
still change, of course.

And as usual, I'll wait a day or two before really opening the merge
window. I want people to actually test this one rather than immediately
sending me "please pull" requests. Deal?
