. The ext2 "free inodes corrupted" problem which Martin saw should be
fixed.
. The ext3 assertion failure which Maneesh hit should be fixed (I can't
reproduce this, please retest?)
. A patch from Neil which will hopefully fix the RAID "bio too big" bug.
Neil cannot reproduce that, so we are asking anyone who _can_ make this
happen to test this out.
. The weird behaviour with time-n-date on SpeedStep machines should be
fixed. Some of the weird behaviour, at least.
. A tweak to the oom killer here may cause earlier oom-killings. I was
able to trigger just the one. Keep an eye on that please.
And on a personal note: The OSDL will now be sponsoring my kernel work at
Digeo. This means that I shall become akpm@osdl.org. akpm@digeo.com still
will work. Many thanks to the OSDL and Digeo teams who put this together.
