I'm announcing the release of the 3.16.85 kernel. This is probably the last release in the 3.16 stable series, unless some critical fix comes up later this month.
All users of the 3.16 kernel series should upgrade.
The updated 3.16.y git tree can be found at: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-3.16.y and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser: https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git
The diff from 3.16.84 is attached to this message.
Ben.
