Happy new years with v3.2. We have two compat-wireless releases ready based on the final v3.2 Linus pushed out, a vanilla release [0] and another one with patches pending for stable from linux-next.git sucked out [1]. The "-s" postfix here annotates that pending-stable fixes have been applied on top of the vanilla Linus release. For details on changes you can refer to the ChangeLog-2.6.36-rc5-wireless [2], below is the main contributions to the generic backport module compat, and compat-wirless which uses compat. For more details of what this is visit the stable compat-wireless releases page [3]. I send these out from sunny Costa Rica :) [0] http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-3-stable/v3.2/compat-wireless-3.2-1.tar.bz2 [1] http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-3-stable/v3.2/compat-wireless-3.2-1-s.tar.bz2 [2] http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-3-stable/v3.2/ChangeLog-3.2-wireless [3] http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download/stable/ compat-wireless code metrics 814603 - Total upstream lines of code being pulled 2488 - backport code changes 2143 - backport code additions 345 - backport code deletions 8670 - backport from compat module 11158 - total backport code 1.3697 - % of code consists of backport work 63 - Code changes brought in from pending-stable 47 - Code additions brought in from pending-stable 16 - Code deletions brought in from pending-stable 0.0077 - % of code being cherry picked from pending-stable Base tree: linux-stable.git Base tree version: v3.2 compat-wireless release: compat-wireless-v3.2-1-s The list of pulled in pending-stable patches from linux-next.git are: 0001-wl12xx-Validate-FEM-index-from-ini-file-and-FW.patch 0002-wl12xx-Check-buffer-bound-when-processing-nvs-data.patch 0004-wl12xx-Restore-testmode-ABI.patch 0005-libertas-clean-up-scan-thread-handling.patch Updates from the compat.git project: ==================================== git shortlog linux-3.1.y..linux-3.2.y Felix Fietkau (1): compat: fix misplaced #ifdef for the workqueue backport Hauke Mehrtens (20): compat: add round_down compat: add support for linux 3.1 compat: pm_qos_params.h was renamed to pm_qos.h compat: add PMSG_IS_AUTO compat: add mac_pton() compat: add cordic lib compat: add crc8 lib compat: add __always_unused compat: add skb_frag_dma_map compat: add kstrtou8_from_user compat: add rcu_read_lock_held() compat: add lower_32_bits compat: add IS_ERR_OR_NULL() compat: add skb_tx_timestamp() and skb_defer_rx_timestamp() compat: add ETH_P_TDLS compat: add is_unicast_ether_addr compat: add linux/of.h just when CONFIG_OF is set. compat: backport system_nrt_wq comapt: add skb_frag_size() and hex_byte_pack() compat: add some workarounds for Debian squeeze Johannes Berg (3): The led_lock is never initialised, so there are warnings/errors.
