So please. Just make me a tree that has regression fixes _only_. I'm not AT ALL interested in "it is useful to report the gpu temp". If it was so useful, and if it was ready before the merge window, it should hav gone in then. That clearly wasn't the case, so it's not going in now either.
Ho-hum... Speaking of which, what about leak fixes? There's a long-standing in-core inode leak in jffs2; basically, if you fail directory modification in symlink() et.al., you get a leaked inode and whinge at umount. Found after -rc1, had been there since all the way back (similar bug in creat() had been fixed in 2003, mkdir()/mknod()/symlink() were not). Fix sits in jffs2-fixes now...
I can simply pull jffs2-fixes into vfs for-next (I need it in there for ->evict_inode() series), but I'd obviously prefer to just rebase it after it gets into mainline.
