Another almost-two-weeks, another merge window over and done with.
Yeah, it's actually only just over 12 days since 3.5 was released, but
I hate the people who send me last-minute pull requests, so I like
pulling the rug out from under people who plan on doing their pull
request in day 13 of the 14-day merge window. If that was your plan,
screw that.
But perhaps more importantly, this time I also have some vacation
travel coming up, and I had the choice between keeping the merge
window open for the full 14 days and pushing out -rc1 from the airport
(free wifi at pdx!), or just closing it early and have a day and a
half to perhaps fix up details before leaving. I obviously chose the
latter.
I tried to notify people who had been good and had lots of stuff
pending in linux-next in a timely manner, so this doesn't come as a
surprise to some of you. And I don't think we really missed any big
merges - this -rc1 is slightly smaller than the previous couple of
merge windows if you look at number of commits, but so was linux-next.
I think it is the summer effect, although we're talking about less
than a 10% difference.
I do have two more pull requests that are at least tentatively
pending: there's the uapi header file disintegration from David
Howells and the tcm_vhost merge from Nicholas Bellinger, both of which
came in in time. So I'll take another look at those later. The pain of
another header file revolution doesn't excite me, but we'll see.
Anyway, on to the stuff merged. As usual, even the shortlog is too big
to usefully post, but there's the usual breakdown: about two thirds of
the changes are drivers (with the CSR driver from the staging tree
being a big chunk of the noise - christ, that thing is big and wordy
even after some of the crapectomy).
Of the non-driver portion, a bit over a third is arch (arm, x86, tile,
mips, powerpc, m68k), and the rest is a fairly even split among fs,
include file noise, networking, and just "rest".
I'm appending my "merge shortlog", and I'd like to point out that the
person listed is the person I get the pull request from, which is
*not* about authorship, but just about who I ended up getting stuff
from. And I notice that my shell script to generate this missed stuff
like my merge of Andrew's patch-bombs, because they look different
from the normal git merges. But maybe this gives people at least
*some* kind of overview of what kinds of things got merged/updated.

We have had 11 of 13 pieces of the 'sync_supers()' removal patch-sets
merged. The 12th piece removes dead code in exofs was supposed to go
through the exofs tree and blocked the 13th piece which removes
'sync_supers()' and was supposed to go via the VFS tree.
Both 12th and 13th pieces zap dead code. I man not sure delaying that to
v3.7 would be very beneficial for the kernel (why having a useless
thread waking up every 5 secs?). Would you let us merge this to -rc1?

Thanks for considering to let tcm_vhost fall under the new driver merge
exception rule for post -rc1 code.
Everything is still ready to go on our side for an initial merge, and I
just doubled checked that target-pending/for-linus is still merging
cleanly w/ the same diffstat into a local HEAD at refs/tags/v3.6-rc1.
As usual, please let us know if you have any concerns.
Thank you,

Ok. I'm pulling the exofs changes, they're small and remove more lines
than they add. And if the last piece then just kills dead code, I
won't mind that either.

(I believe it's the first time I see that patch.)
Btw, I see no maintainers for the pstore, and it surely no longer
belongs to staging. Tony, I can send patches to you, or I can create
a git tree (actually, I already had it for my own convenience).. So
how about the following patch?
Kees, Colin, as you're also pstore authors, I assume you're interested
in reviewing/[n]acking any possible changes, so I also added you to
the M: entries, is that OK?

That's quite possible. When Kees acked it, he advised
me to send it to GregKH, which I did, to no avail.

OK... I've ported Artem's patchset on top of exofs merge; Artem, could
you check if you are OK with the result currently in vfs.git#for-linus?

Thanks Linus. Yes, the first patch of the series removes dead code, and
there are additional patches which amend comments and documentation
without touching any functionality, just remove words pdflush, s_dirt,
and write_super.

OK, then... Artem's patchset + do_dentry_open() fix is in the usual place -

Grrr... git add Documentation/sysctl/ during conflict-resolving in git am, having
forgotten that this turd wasn't removed in process, then a bit of blindness when
generating and pasting the diffstat ;-/ Thanks for spotting.
I've put the branch sans that idiocy in the same tree; for-linus-2 (basically,
branched off at the commit introducing that, then git rm Documentation/sysctl/*.rej
to get rid of that sucker, git commit --amend, git cherry-pick <branchpoint>..for-linus)
Same shortlog, same diffstat sans that idiocy... Alternatively, it could be fixed
up upon merge, if Linus is really dead set against any rebases (same git rm/git commit --amend
right after git merge or git pull, whatever Linus uses).
Sorry about that ;-/
