Add Linux 4.9-rc6 #213

Announcement for Linux 4.9-rc6 [1]: > We're getting further in the rc series, and while things have stayed > pretty calm, I'm not sure if we're quite there yet. There's a few > outstanding issues that just shouldn't be issues at rc6 time, so we'll > just have to see. This may be one of those releases that have an rc8, > which considering the size of 4.9 is perhaps not that unusual. > > That said, nothing particular is bothering me all that much, but we've > had some of the VMALLOC_STACK fixups continue to trickle in, so I > worry that we're not quite done there yet. And let's see what > Thorsten's regression list looks like next week. So no decision yet, > it could still go either way. > > The fact that rc6 is bigger than rc5 was is not a particularly great > sign, though. But most of that seems to be just the usual timing > fluctuation: rc6 had networking updates, rc5 didn't, for example. > There are also some rdma updates etc that stand out. Nothing that > looks particularly worrisome. > > Aside from the aforementioned networking and rdma, there's gpu fixes, > some tooling and build fixes, and various arch updates (x86, powerpc, > arm, xtensa). And misc fixes all over (i2c, sound, fuse, kvm..) > > Go forth and test, > > Linus Remove the patch from linux-4.9_rc5-120, as it didn’t solve the problem. [1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/11/20/153
