Kernel release status

The 2.6.14 kernel still is not out yet as of this writing, though chances are good that it may have happened on the usual "right after LWN publishes" schedule. Linus did release 2.6.14-rc5 on October 19; it contained fixes for the show-stopper problems discussed here last week and a number of other fixes as well.

The current -mm tree is 2.6.14-rc5-mm1. Recent changes to -mm include some USB power management improvements, a tracing mechanism for the block layer, some page table scalability work (see below), demand paging for hugetlb pages, the ktimer patch, and a read-copy-update torture testing module.
