I've release 2.6.11.4 with two security fixes in it. It can be found at
the normal kernel.org places.
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
2.6.11.3 and 2.6.11.4, as it is small enough to do so.
thanks,
It was meant to work with capabilities in the filesystem like setuid bits.
So the patches that have floated around from myself, Andy Lutomirski
and Alex Nyberg are attempts to make something half-way sane out of the
mess. The trouble is then convincing yourself that it's not some way

This is my current tranch of patches that were waiting the transition

The patch is available here:

The short log is:

Not that it matters much to me, since I don't have to maintain it, but
couldn't this be:
while (data[1] = 2 dlen = data[1]) {
I think this captures the relationship and priority.

What's going on here? s_minor's not big enough for modern minor
numbers.
What is the modern size then?
10 bits of major, 20 bits of minor.

Hi!
This patch adds a freezer call to the slow path in __alloc_pages. It
thus avoids freezing failures in low memory situations. Like the other
patches, it has been in Suspend2 for longer than I can remember.
This one seems wrong.
Appended patch adds the support for Intel dual-core detection and displaying
the core related information in /proc/cpuinfo.
It adds two new fields core id and cpu cores to x86 /proc/cpuinfo
and the core id field for x86_64(cpu cores field is already present in
x86_64).
Number of processor cores
