Ok, here's today status. I posted the patch at

Automatically append a semi-random version if the tree we're building
isn't tagged in BitKeeper and CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is set.
This fixes the case when Linus (or someone else) does a release and tags

It contains one patch, which is already in the -bk tree, and came from
the security team (hence the lack of the longer review cycle).
It's available now in the normal kernel.org places:

Dear All,
I have developed a small module in Fedora Core 3 with 2.6.9-1.667 kernel
version. This module uses the interruptible_sleep_on_timeout call and
one proc entry in it. After inserting the module when I try to cat the
/proc entry I got the following messages on the screen.

Hmm. I see for example a place at jbd/commit.c, line 287 (which you

Not that I'd find that race
This patch is against 2.6.11.
The Mobility docking station provides a PCI-based parallel port. Since
the docking station connects via Cardbus, such devices are removable.
Therefore, track which parallel ports are registered to each PCI device,
and remove them when the PCI device is

after the modem at the ISP end answered.
I usually keep the kernel fairly up-to-date with bk, and I'm
certain that 2.6.11-vanilla ran pppd just fine a few days earlier.
