Op Kernel.org is versie 2.6.11.9 van de Linux Kernel verschenen. De ontwikkelaars doen het rustig aan en daardoor is het changelog niet ellenlang zoals soms het geval is. Er wordt hier en daar een kleine bug opgelost zoals je in het onderstaande changelog kunt zien:

Cset exclude: khali@linux-fr.org[gregkh]|ChangeSet|20050430010004|65088
Revert the msdos.c patch as it causes more problems than it helps right now. (it got munged together with the i2c patch also, stupid scripts...)

[PATCH] I2C: Fix incorrect sysfs file permissions in it87 and via686a drivers
The it87 and via686a hardware monitoring drivers each create a sysfs file named "alarms" in R/W mode, while they should really create it in read-only mode. Since we don't provide a store function for these files, write attempts to these files will do something undefined (I guess) and bad (I am sure). My own try resulted in a locked terminal (where I attempted the write) and a 100% CPU load until next reboot.
As a side note, wouldn't it make sense to check, when creating sysfs files, that readable files have a non-NULL show method, and writable files have a non-NULL store method? I know drivers are not supposed to do stupid things, but there is already a BUG_ON for several conditions in sysfs_create_file, so maybe we could add two more?

[PATCH] Remove bogus BUG() in kernel/exit.c
Remove bogus BUG() in kernel/exit.c
It's old sanity checking that may have been useful for debugging, but is just bogus these days.
Noticed by Mattia Belletti.
