No new messages were posted to the "Linux-Kernel Archive By Thread" mailing list from 23:45 EST Friday night until 21:29 EST Saturday night. I don't know if the system wasn't accepting new posts or if any posts made during that time were lost into the ether.

We will see.

Linux 4.19.110
From: Greg KH
Date: Mon Mar 16 2020 - 08:04:02 EST

I'm announcing the release of the 4.19.110 kernel.

This fixes a problem in 4.19.109 in the KVM subsystem. If you use KVM,
you are strongly encouraged to upgrade. If not, no big deal, you can
ignore this release.

The updated 4.19.y git tree can be found at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-4.19.y
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kern....git;a=summary

thanks,

greg k-h

Crap, I wait months to upgrade my kernel and finally decide to do it yesterday and used the 5.4.26 kernel (went from the 5.3.12). Luckily, I haven't seen any issues with it :shrug:
