Staging tree status for the .33 kernel merge
,----[ Quote ]
| This was originally sent to the linux-kernel
| and driver-devel mailing lists. Might as well
| post it here to get a wider audience as the
| last report was received well.
|
| Here's a summary of the state of the
| drivers/staging/ tree, basically what will be
| coming in the 2.6.33 merge, and what the status
| of the different drivers are so far.

Kernel Log: Linux 2.6.33 enters test phase
,----[ Quote ]
| With the end of the next kernel version's
| main development phase, the most important
| new features of Linux 2.6.33 have been
| determined: DRBD, Nouveau, support of the
| Trim ATA command and a bandwidth controller
| for block devices. The developers have also
| improved the Radeon drivers and the support
| of Intel Wi-Fi chips. New stable kernels
| also fix a vulnerability in the code of
| Ext4, but will shortly be superseded by
| even more current versions.

Linux 2.6.33 RC1

| Talking about the merge window: there were a
| _lot_ of trees that left their pull requests
| pretty dang late. Not everything I merged
| yesterday and today were late pull requests,
| but a lot of it was. I'm used to have a
| fairly busy last day of the merge window, but
| it was a busy last two days this time -
| definitely worse than usual.

Kernel Log: New stable kernels, 2.6.33 with DRBD and RT2800PCI
,----[ Quote ]
| Kernel versions 2.6.27.40, 2.6.27.41 and
| 2.6.31.7 offer minor improvements and correct
| several bugs â including one security hole.
| Torvalds has already incorporated more than
| 5,000 changes for Linux 2.6.33. Its merge
| window will probably be open for just over
| another week. Various developers are working
| on significant improvements to the open source
| Radeon graphics drivers.

A Great Present In The Linux 2.6.33 Kernel
,----[ Quote ]
| David Airlie has just called upon Linus
| Torvalds to pull in the latest DRM patches
| for inclusion into the Linux 2.6.33 kernel.
| The Direct Rendering Manager improvements in
| this next kernel release will be
| particularly interesting and are perhaps as
| significant as earlier kernels that had
| introduced kernel mode-setting support for
| Intel and ATI/AMD hardware along with in-
| kernel memory management. The changes that
| the Linux 2.6.33 kernel will bring are
| aplenty and will impact almost all of those
| using an open-source graphics driver stack.
