Linux 2.6.24.6

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

We (the -stable team) are announcing the release of the 2.6.24.6 kernel.

If fixes a number of different bugs and some security issues so that all
users of the 2.6.24 series of kernels are strongly encouraged to
upgrade.

Note, barring some major security issue, this is probably going to be
the last 2.6.24 kernel released.  You all should move on to the 2.6.25
series by now.

I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between
2.6.24.5 and 2.6.24.6

The updated 2.6.24.y git tree can be found at:
        git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.24.y.git
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
        http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.24.y.git;a=summary

thanks,

greg k-h
