One more 2.6.27 prepatch
The 2.6.27-rc9 prepatch is out. "I
know, I know, I said that -rc8 was supposed to be the last -rc, and that
I'd release 2.6.27 this weekend. I lied. Sue me. I merged two subtle
regression fixes today, and while both looked perfectly fine and had been
tested by the people involved in the regressions, I just couldn't bring
myself to then just slap a 'v2.6.27' on it without some more
testing." Expect the final 2.6.27 release sometime over the next
week.

Good to see that GART fix in. This cycle has been a rough one, here, but
that patch means I don't have to have iommu=soft in my kernel command line any more.

So what about e1000e?
One more 2.6.27 prepatch Posted Oct 7, 2008 8:56 UTC (Tue) by patrick_g (subscriber, #44470) [Link] Did you read the mail from Linus ?"It also felt like a good idea to have an -rc with the patches that should fix the (much-publicized) e1000e firmware corruption bugs. I know people inside Intel are still looking at it, so there may be more changes in that area, but I think we're set for 2.6.27 - but again, let's just do an -rc here."

If he keeps on admitting to lying, [enjoy LWN too much for a political joke in this space].
