Kernel Log: Coming in 2.6.37 (Part 5) - Drivers
On the Wednesday before Christmas, Linus Torvalds issued the seventh release candidate of Linux 2.6.37. In his release email, Torvalds mentioned a few relatively substantial changes and said that some of them make him slightly nervous. On the 29th of December an eighth release candidate was released by Torvalds which he described as "just a collection of random fixes all over". It'll be early in the New Year when we see Linux version 2.6.37 finalized.
The Kernel Log completes the "Coming in 2.6.37" mini-series with a description of various drivers and their surrounding kernel infrastructure. Part 1 of this mini-series described the graphics hardware drivers, while Part 2 discussed file systems. Part 3 dealt with the network and storage hardware, and Part 4 discussed the changes in terms of the kernel's architecture and infrastructure code.
