Development kernel 2.5.71 released

[Posted June 14, 2003 by corbet]

Linus has announced the 2.5.71 development kernel - named "sticky turtle." It's a huge patch, containing a fair amount of driver model work, some extensive PCI bus cleanups (dealing with potential race conditions there), the big IDE changeover to taskfile I/O, a new /proc/kallsyms file, support for per-CPU variables in modules, a change the kmalloc_percpu() interface, an Atmel at76c50x wireless driver, a long-sought fix for hanging TCP sessions, an improved slab allocator which performs better in busy, multi-processor situations, some kbuild tweaks, an ALSA update, a set of hash function changes to deal with algorithmic complexity attacks, a FAT filesystem rework (if you have been waiting to be able to create FAT partitions greater than 128GB, this patch is for you), a v850 subarchitecture merge, a RAID update, the removal of the long-deprecated callout TTY device (/dev/cua) support, numerous architecture updates, and several other fixes and updates. As always, the long-format changelog has the gory details.

Thanks for that, it compiles. However the lsilogic/scsi spin-locking bug which has been in there since about 2.5.63 is still there.
