Stable kernels 2.6.32.54, 3.0.17, 3.1.9, and 3.2.1 released
Greg Kroah-Hartman has announced the release of four stable kernels:
2.6.32.54,
3.0.17,
3.1.9, and
3.2.1. All have fixes throughout the tree
and users of those series should upgrade. In the 3.1.9 review posting, Kroah-Hartman said that it was
likely the last in the 3.1.x series. It's not repeated in the
announcement, but certainly the end of 3.1.x is coming soon and folks
should move to 3.2.

I'm not sure that 3.2.1 is ready for prime time. A serious regression seems to have been introduced in the networking core code via patch rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to RCU_INIT_POINTER. See also [PATCH] net: reintroduce missing rcu_assign_pointer() calls for a fix.
