We (the -stable team) are announcing the release of the 2.6.19.6 kernel. It contains a number of bugfixes, and all 2.6.19 users are recommended to upgrade.
Barring anything major, there will not be any more 2.6.19 releases. If you disagree with this, please let the stable team know about the patches that you feel must be in a new release. We need to move on to flushing out the very large backlog of 2.6.20-stable patches. The diffstat and short summary of the fixes are below. I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between 2.6.19.5 and 2.6.19.6, as it is small enough to do so. The updated 2.6.19.y git tree can be found at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.19.y.git and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser: www.kernel.org/git/ thanks, greg k-h -------- Makefile | 2 drivers/input/mouse/psmouse-base.c | 28 +++ drivers/input/mouse/psmouse.h | 1 drivers/input/mouse/synaptics.c | 1 drivers/net/8139cp.c | 6 drivers/net/b44.c | 6 drivers/net/forcedeth.c | 11 - drivers/net/skge.c | 5 drivers/net/sky2.c | 51 +++-- drivers/net/sky2.h | 2 drivers/usb/net/usbnet.c | 7 fs/bad_inode.c | 330 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- fs/cifs/sess.c | 13 - fs/ext2/super.c | 4 fs/ext3/super.c | 4 fs/ext4/super.c | 4 lib/swiotlb.c | 2 sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c | 2 sound/pci/hda/patch_si3054.c | 3 19 files changed, 400 insertions(+), 82 deletions(-) Summary of changes from v2.6.19.5 to v2.6.19.6 ============================================== David Brownell (1): USB: usbnet driver bugfix David Moore (1): Missing critical phys_to_virt in lib/swiotlb.c Eric Sandeen (1): fix memory corruption from misinterpreted bad_inode_ops return values (CVE-2006-5753) Francois Romieu (1): netpoll: drivers must not enable IRQ unconditionally in their NAPI handler Greg Kroah-Hartman (1): Linux 2.6.19.6 Hugh Dickins (1): fix umask when noACL kernel meets extN tuned for ACLs Stephen Hemminger (6): sky2: pci config blocks phy power control sky2: fix for NAPI with dual port boards sky2: kfree_skb with IRQ with netconsole sky2: transmit timeout deadlock sky2: dont flush good pause frames sky2: fix ram buffer allocation settings Steve French (1): Fix oops when Windows server sent bad domain name null terminator Takashi Iwai (2): hda-intel - Don't try to probe invalid codecs hda-codec - Don't return error at initialization of modem codec Thomas Renninger (1): Backport of psmouse suspend/shutdown cleanups - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
