Update Linux from 4.8-rc4 to 4.8-rc5 #118

Announcement [1]: > So rc5 is noticeably bigger than rc4 was, and my hope last week that > we were starting to calm down and shrink the releases seems to have > been premature. > > That said, most of the diffstat looks fairly flat (which tends to > imply lots of small trivial changes rather than big invasive ones). > There's some stuff going on in the mellanox mlx5 network driver, and > there is some nfs and overlayfs noise, but on the whole it just looks > like a lot of small fixes. It may be _more_ of those small fixes than > I'd prefer at this stage, but I suspect what happened was that rc4 > looked so nice and small simply because some of the fixes ended up > being delayed until rc5. > > Not that any of this looks worrisome per se, but if things don't start > calming down from now, this may be one of those releases that will > need an rc8. We'll see. > > [ That said, looking at the stats of the individual commits, it all > looks pretty small and simple - there's just more of them than I would > have wished for ] > > The shortlog is appended for those who want to get a feel for the > kinds of details that happened. > > Linus [1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/9/4/212
