From Linus Torvalds <> Date Wed, 21 Sep 2011 17:32:48 -0700 Subject Linux 3.1-rc7 I was supposed to do this on Monday, but it didn't seem to be hugely pressing.



Not only were there some patches under discussion, it is becoming

clear that I might as well not release the final 3.1 until after my

upcoming vacation early October - otherwise the next merge window

would just be total chaos. A merge window with kernel.org being off

just really wouldn't work, and doing a release only to then have some

chaotic merge window followed by travel seems crazy.



So here we are, two days late, but in no hurry.



We've actually fixed a few core regressions - they may not be easy to

hit (which is why it took so long), but we had a nasty dentry bug

(fixed by the first commit in the shortlog below) that admittedly was

only triggerable with NFS and some odd directory movement, but it was

still interesting to see something like that at this stage. Some

rather subtle dentry refcounting rules had resulted in an "obvious

cleanup" having broken a subtle rule about dentry parent lifetimes

etc.



We had some other "core" stuff too (wasting time looping over swap

page entries in find_get_pages), but as you can see from the shortlog,

most of it ends up being pretty peripheral. Mostly random driver

fixes, which is also backed up by the diffstat - 60% drivers, 8%

networking, 7% arch (arm and UM), 7% filesystem, 5% mm, random small

patches elsewhere.
