Linus says: +"There's a lot of small one-liners, but a few bigger chunks too: Radeon DRI +updates, some btrfs updates, and fixing Sparc LEON support (and supporting PCI). +Smaller updates to nilfs2 and ceph, and s390 and arm. Other than that, it's +mostly random driver updates all over." + +Quotes +^^^^^^ +It does look like there are too many problems to actually make it call itself +"3.0", and that's sad. That's not an excuse for not trying to get those problems +fixed, though. +-- Linus Torvalds prepares for 3.0.0 + +The full set of patches will be sent, as normal, however they will be delayed by +a few hours out of respect for those still awake and trying to get work done. +-- Greg Kroah-Hartman delays the pain into the eastern hemisphere + + +Native Linux KVM tool v2 +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +The second iteration of the Native Linux KVM tool (a QEMU replacement for KVM) +has been posted. The tool now has graphics support, SMP support, networking, +file I/O said to be faster than QEMU, and more. The developers are now +"officially aiming" to get the tool merged in the 3.1 kernel development cycle. + +interesting patches on LKML +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +- a reworked contiguous memory allocator (CMA) +- Debating overlayfs + +3.0-rc4 +^^^^^^^ +The current development kernel is 3.0-rc4, released on June 20. It consists of a +bunch of fixes (some for a couple of significant performance regressions) and a +couple of new drivers. It also apparently has a new compilation error which may +require the application of this patch to get around. The full changelog has all +the details. + +Quotes +^^^^^^ +Hardware often makes me want to dress all in black, sit at the end of the bar, +drink, and cry. Often Matthew Garrett is right there with me so at least I have +company on my trip to black, black oblivion. +-- Dan Williams + + 09.06.2011: ^^^^^^^^^^^ |
