This is the start of the longterm review cycle for the 2.6.32.69 release. All patches will be posted as a response to this one. If anyone has any issue with these being applied, please let me know. If anyone is a maintainer of the proper subsystem, and wants to add a Signed-off-by: line to the patch, please respond with it. If anyone thinks some important patches are missing and should be added prior to the release, please report them quickly with their respective mainline commit IDs. Responses should be made by Sat Dec 5 22:47:02 CET 2015. Anything received after that time might be too late. If someone wants a bit more time for a deeper review, please let me know. NOTE: 2.6.32 is approaching end of support. There will probably be one or maybe two other versions issued in the next 3 months, and that will be all, at least for me. Adding to this the time it can take to validate and deploy in some environments, it probably makes sense to start to think about switching to another longterm branch. 3.2 and 3.4 are good candidates for those seeking rock-solid versions. Longterm branches and their projected EOLs are listed here : https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html The whole patch series can be found in one patch at : https://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/longterm-review/patch-2.6.32.69-rc1.gz The shortlog and diffstat are appended below.
