An updated patch was pushed here :

  https://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/stable-review/patch-3.10.105-rc2.gz

It drops the following patches which broke some architectures :

  arch: Introduce smp_load_acquire(), smp_store_release()
  kernel: Provide READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE
  kernel: Change ASSIGN_ONCE(val, x) to WRITE_ONCE(x, val)
  kernel: make READ_ONCE() valid on const arguments
  locking: Remove atomicy checks from {READ,WRITE}_ONCE
  compiler: Allow 1- and 2-byte smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release()
  ipc: remove use of seq_printf return value
  ipc/sem.c: fix complex_count vs. simple op race

It reverts this one as an alternative :

  ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()

And it drops this one as not needed (thanks to Bart Van Assche):

  IB/srpt: Simplify srpt_handle_tsk_mgmt()

The deadline for the review remains unchanged.

Thanks!
