NOTE!

If I could get some people to please test this -rc release? It contains
a few core changes that I couldn't validate myself as I don't seem to
have a machine that will even boot the .27 kernel anymore after my move.

I didn't want to include them in the last .27-stable release because of
this, so any testing is much appreciated. Especially if you happen to
run across any signal and/or stack issues that might be floating around
in the ether...

----

This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 2.6.27.52 release.
There are 3 patches in this series, all will be posted as a response to
this one. If anyone has any issues with these being applied, please let
us 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.

Responses should be made by Monday, August 16, 2010, 20:00:00 UTC.
Anything received after that time might be too late.

The whole patch series can be found in one patch at:
kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/stable-review/patch-2.6.27.52-rc1.gz
and the diffstat can be found below.

thanks,

greg k-h

I will try it, Greg. If you want specific tests, do not hesitate to tell
me which ones.
