Here are 5 patches that are in the -stable tree, yet not currently fixed
in your mainline tree. One of them is a security fix, so it probably
would be a good idea to get it into there :)

Please pull from:
rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/stable-2.6.git/
or from:
master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/stable-2.6.git/
if it isn't synced up yet.

The full patch series will sent to the linux-kernel mailing list, if
anyone wants to see them.

thanks,

greg k-h

Limit USB_STORAGE_ISD200 to whatever BLK_DEV_IDE and USB_STORAGE
are set to (y, m) since isd200 calls ide_fix_driveid() in the
BLK_DEV_IDE code.

I thought one of the requirements for accepting a patch into -stable
was that it was already in mainline. Was this a change in policy that
I missed, or just an oversight when we vetted these patches?

Not that I have anything against these patches, just curious in the
future if we should NACK patches proposed for -stable if we notice
that they aren't yet in mainline.

Sometimes some of these patches don't make it into Linus's tree because
they get lost in the shuffle (like the Kconfig one), or because they
were security issues that hit -stable first (like another one in there).

Either way, yes, the rule is that it should be in mainline, or in the
pipe to get into mainline (as was the 5 in this patchset.) I just
wanted to make sure they made it into there, and didn't get lost.

thanks,

I had them queued up as well, but I'm being sluggish and Greg got there first.
