The kernel column #85

,----[ Quote ]
| Another month, another kernel release. Last 
| month saw what is hopefully the final RC 
| (release candidate) 2.6.33 kernel, and so it 
| should have been released by the time you read 
| this. The latest kernel includes lots of shiny 
| new features that have been developed over the 
| past three months since 2.6.32, including some 
| nice virtualisation speed-ups (detecting when 
| virtual machine guestâs VCPUs are within 
| spinlocks and automatically yielding), driver 
| updates and the removal of the legacy 
| âanticipatoryâ IO scheduler (long since 
| replaced in function by the CFQ or âCompletely 
| Fair Queuingâ one).

| Ok, so -rc2 was messy, no question about
| it. I'm too much of a softie to hold back
| some peoples work, so my hard-line -rc1
| didn't work out the way I wanted. But
| next time! For sure this time.
|
| Anyway, from a messy -rc2 we now have a -
| rc3 that should be in much better shape.
| Regressions fixed, and the ShortLog is
| short enough to be worth posting to lkml (-
| rc1 never is, and -rc2 seldom is. It's not
| like -rc2's are generally wondeful, this
| time around wasn't that much different).
