Stable kernels 2.6.32.29, 2.6.36.4, and 2.6.37.1 released

Greg Kroah-Hartman has announced the release of the 2.6.32.29, 2.6.36.4, and 2.6.37.1 stable kernels. They contain lots of fixes all over the tree. Also, this will be the last of the 2.6.36.x stable kernels: "[...] you should move to the .37 kernel series as this is the last .36 kernel to be released. It's now 'end of life', 'dead', 'buried', 'pining for the fjords', or whatever term you and your company uses for things that are no more."

He has done it again — Greg voids warranties. :)

Any updates to the (supposedly) long-term supported 2.6.35.x? (My apologies if I sound overbearing; I'm just curious if any of the "lots of fixes all over the tree" could apply to 2.6.35.)

longterm-2.6.35.y updates

Maybe more luck posting it here.

I will check to see if the USB 3.0 driver is working this time. After compiling the 2.6.37.0 kernel and selecting the uas module:

xHCI HCD (USB 3.0) support experimental (CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD=m)

I could not find the uas module in "/drivers/usb/storage/".

the Makefile mentions:

obj-$(CONFIG_USB_UAS) += uas.o
obj-$(CONFIG_USB_STORAGE) += usb-storage.o

but only usb-storage.o & usb-storage.ko appear.

Sorry, my mistake. After:

xHCI HCD (USB 3.0) support (EXPERIMENTAL)

did not read the line below:

Defined at drivers/usb/host/Kconfig:20

so the module will be named "xhci-hcd", although there were modifications introduced in "drivers/usb/storage/".
