Hi!
NOTE:
This is going to be the LAST 4.9.y release to be made by the stable/LTS kernel maintainers. After this release, it will be end-of-life and you should not use it at all. You should have moved to a newer kernel branch by now (as seen on the https://kernel.org/category/releases.html page), but if NOT, and this is going to be a real hardship, please contact me directly.
CIP project is still maintaining 4.4-st, 4.4-cip and -rt releases, and is commited to do so for few more years. 4.9.y makes that job easier than it would be without them. If there's a way to keep 4.9 maintained a while longer, we might be interested.
This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 4.9.337 release. There are 251 patches in this series, all will be posted as a response to this one. If anyone has any issues with these being applied, please let me know.
CIP testing did not find any problems here:
