From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...>
Subject: Linux 2.6.25-rc9
Date: Apr 11, 4:51 pm 2008

I really don't want to do this, and I was actually hoping to release

2.6.25 last weekend (which is why -rc9 is a few days late - just me hoping

to not do another -rc at all), but I've done an -rc9.
The changes in -rc9 are pretty small (shortlog appended), and 60% of them

are m68k updates - mostly defconfigs. And some doc updates.
But there's some network driver updates (tg3 and wireless hostap stand

out), some late XFS patches and a mvsas driver update (the mvsas driver is

new in 2.6.25, so that's not going to regress anything ;).
The rest is mostly one-liners, with a few reverts going on.
Dirstat:
	   4.2% Documentation/filesystems/

	   3.2% Documentation/networking/

	  11.4% Documentation/

	  55.7% arch/m68k/configs/

	  59.4% arch/m68k/

	   2.0% arch/powerpc/

	  65.7% arch/

	   3.6% drivers/net/

	   4.2% drivers/scsi/

	  12.7% drivers/

	   2.3% fs/

	   2.2% include/

	   3.9% net/
anyway, the reason for not doing a 2.6.25 is that some people are making

noises about slab/page-alloc setup issues, and I wanted something out this

week, but didn't feel comfy doing a final release.
That said, I think I'll have to do 2.6.25 early next week regardless,

because we can't just keep holding things back forever. At some point it

will have to turn into a 2.6.25.x issue, and the developers with stuff

pending for the next version need to be able to start merging.
			Linus
PS. This has been a somewhat frustrating last week or so. So if I was even

less polite to somebody than usual in public or private emails, my

apologies. You know who you are.
