There were a few extra changes added after rc1: ext4: fix BUG_ON() in ext4_ext_insert_extent() Fixes crash that can be triggered by file access (local DoS). drivers/net/rionet.c: fix ethernet address macros for LE platforms Fixes this driver to work on little-endian architectures. ext2,ext3,ext4: don't inherit APPEND_FL or IMMUTABLE_FL for new inodes Fixes some weird file/directory permission interaction. Maybe a security problem? I don't know. USB: Serial: Add device ID for Sierra Wireless MC8305 USB: Serial: Add PID(0xF7C0) to FTDI SIO driver for a zeitcontrol-device More hardware support.
