Driver, USB, and PCI Subsystem Updates For 2.6.24
Greg KH posted three emails titled State of the Linux Driver Core Subsystem, State of the Linux USB Subsystem, and State of the Linux PCI Subsystem, noting that for each there were no known regressions then going on to list which patches were bound for the upcoming 2.6.24 kernel.
Greg pointed out that the USB subsystem patch queue was particularly large, "yeah, there are way too many there, I've been really slack in trying to work through them. If anyone wants to help out, feel free :)" He continued, "Note, there are over 100 patches in the USB queue, so I might have missed a few things in reviewing them by hand right now."
Also:
"We don't want to introduce pointless delays in throttle_vm_writeout() when the writeback limits are not yet exceeded, do we?" asked Fengguang Wu as the description of his patch to mm/page-writeback.c.
