Linux 2.6.31-rc5
,----[ Quote ]
| Ok, I've got some pending stuff, but I'm pushing out -rc5 now because it
| does fix a lot of regressions, and some of the pending stuff I'm not entirely
| sure about.
|
| Apart from various regression fixes, the diffstat shows a couple of new
| drivers (at_hdmac, uc2322, gspca/sn9c20x, ds2782 battery driver), and some
| big KMS radeon changes (the Radeon KMS source code may physically be under
| drivers/gpu, but it's only enabled if CONFIG_STAGING is set, and is
| considered unstable).

SSDs and filesystems
,----[ Quote ]
| So I've figured out my drive and partition usage, but the things that are
| causing the most headaches, and occupying the majority of my research time,
| are:
|
| 1. Which filesystems
| 2. Which mount options
| 3. Which schedulers
| 4. Partition alignment schemes
|
| See, I will have two SSDs in there with Gentoo installed on 'em, but I'll
| also have a separate magnetic HDD for media storage, so that means a
| different for each drive.
|
| For 1, ext4 is looking increasingly attractive for the SSDs. I may continue
| to use ReiserFS for the media drive, as it's worked very well for a few years
| now. But, given that the Portage tree is just lots and lots of tiny files,
| perhaps I could continue using ReiserFS on it? Though I would need to
| deactivate the journal. The Mobi drive should not have any journaling on
| it -- too many writes.

Linux 2.6.31-rc3
,----[ Quote ]
| As I mentioned last time, I really wish things would calm down. And to
| _some_ degree they have. In other areas? Not so much.
|
| That said, the single biggest patch here is actually a revert - a removal
| of the Langwell USB OTG driver that wasn't ready and needed infrastructure
| that isn't going to happen in 2.6.31.

Linux 2.6.31-rc2
,----[ Quote ]
| It's out there. Larger than I'd like, but the bulk of the changes are due Âto
| some late arch updates (MIPS, and powerpc documentation).

Kernel Log - Coming in 2.6.31 - Part 1: New Wi-Fi drivers and other
network-related changes
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux 2.6.31 will be IEEE 802.15.4 capable and will include a new Wi-Fi
| driver for Intel chips. Developers have also added support for recent Ralink
| Wi-Fi components and revamped the Rfkill framework. The Wi-fi stack and
| drivers are now better able to use newer power saving technologies.

Main development phase of Linux 2.6.31 completed
,----[ Quote ]
| Just over two weeks after the release of Linux 2.6.30, Linus Torvalds has
| released 2.6.31-rc1, the first release candidate of Linux 2.6.31. As
| usual, "rc1" completes the merge window during which the kernel hackers
| incorporate the majority of new features into the respective new version's
| main development branch. In the eight to eleven weeks that follow, the
| programmers tend to integrate only smaller changes to fix bugs in the newly
| merged code without causing any further problems. If the kernel hackers stick
| to their usual pace despite the summer and holiday season in the northern
| hemisphere, Linux 2.6.31 will probably be released in late August or early
| September.

TTM, Radeon KMS Support Goes Into Linux 2.6.31
,----[ Quote ]
| Last week a pull request went in to bring support in the Linux 2.6.31 kernel
| for Radeon kernel mode-setting and TTM memory management. This initial work
| was proposed to enter the Linux kernel as a staging driver and then be setup
| as a proper Linux kernel driver in the next release, Linux 2.6.32.
