Hi,

Here's 2.6.10-as5. 2.6.10-as4 was never officially announced; it had
issues (note to self; test, *then* tag). Distributors should note that
there is an ABI/API change in this release, due to
114-netfilter_private_queues.patch changing ipv4 related function args.
Modules that use these will most likely need to be rebuilt.

Lots of security fixes in here; it's probably a good idea to upgrade.
If I'm missing any security related stuff, please let me know. I have
been travelling, so my apologies to anyone who hasn't gotten a quick
response from me. I will also be without an internet connection between
Feb 25th and March 5, so don't expect responses between then.

The -as tree is intended to include only security and bugfixes, from
various sources. I do not include hardware driver updates
(specifically, anything that changes how the hardware registers
themselves are probed/poked), large subsystem updates, cleanups, and so
on; only fixes that will not contain regressions. The hope is that
vendors/distributors can use this tree as a base for their kernels. It
is also what I'd want a 2.6.x.y tree to have.

The kernel patches can be grabbed from here:

    Summary:
      088-ibmvscsi_event_struct_use_after_free.patch
    Revision:
      linux--dilinger--0--patch-91

    The ibmvscsi driver has paths that free evt_struct, and then proceed
to
    use it. That's clearly a no-no in SMP/threaded contexts; once an
evt_struct
    is free, something else may grab it. So, this patch:
            - moves the free_event_struct() to after usage of the evt_struct
            - creates a single path for cleanup
            - calls evt_struct->done during cleanup, which is something that
              should've been happening.
