-Linus announces 3.1-rc10 (the last rc, apparently):

Ok, we're a week away from the kernel summit, and here's the last -rc
I'm planning to make.

There really hasn't been all that much going on - the smallish MIPS
updates are still the bulk of this -rc, and the rest is pretty much
small driver fixes. Oh, and some last-minute fs (btrfs and xfs) fixes
in there too.

The shortlog is about as informative as it gets. There's still some
discussion about a couple of minor things we would like to get
resolved, but on the whole 3.1 is long over-due and by the KS I think
everybody will be relieved to have it out, and ready to open the merge
window.

-David Miller has networking fixes :

I have two fixes still being worked on and under discussion.  One for
pktgen giving too large values to ndelay(), and one for RAW ipv4/ipv6
sockets crashing when used over IP_GRE tunnels.  Probably I can have
both fixes finalized in about a day.

1) When bridge is removed via netlink, we hang, fix from Stephen Hemminger.

2) USE_PHYLIB flag test reversed in tg3 due to regression, fix from Jiri Pirko.

3) IPVS netns down/up deadlock fix from Hans Schillstrom.

4) Leaks and missing SKB pull calls in pptp and l2tp, from Eric Dumazet.

5) Several buffer overruns and missing skb size checks in x25, fixes from
   Matthew Daley.

6) bond_handle_frame() races with taking a bond down, resulting in crash,
   fix from Mitsuo Hayasaka.

7) R8169 WoL regression fix from Francois Romieu.  Energy Efficient Ethernet
   setting for rtl8111evl r8169 chip from Hayes Wang.

8) Add SMSC LAN89218 device IDs, from Phil Edworthy.

9) Bluetooth forgets to propagate LSM attributes on child sockets, fix
   from Paul Moore.

10) Transparent proxy doesn't propagate flag to TIME_WAIT sockets, resulting
    in resets.  Fix from KOVACS Krisztian.
