Kernel prepatch 3.18-rc2
The second 3.18 prepatch is available for
testing. "I had hoped that the rc1 release would mean that a few
stragglers would quickly surface, and then the rest of the rc would be more
normal. But no, I had straggling merge-window pull requests come in all
week, and rc2 is bigger than I'd like." Perhaps the most
significant of those requests was for the overlayfs union filesystem, which has finally
been merged after years of trying.
