1.8.x stable
============

Stephan reports he plans to complete the NEWS updates for 1.8.8.

More changes for FreeBSD may be pulled up to stable.

1.9.x devel/master
==================

OpenAFS 1.9.1 development release as been tagged. Stephan will be creating the
volume on grand.central.org for the source distribution tarballs.

Ben reports he has completed his reviews if changes for macOS BigSur
support.

Mark Vitale submitted 14584 to address the panic recently reported by Chaskiel.

  14584 afs: obtain vcache->lock for inactive vnode ops

Yadav reports he is investigating an issue while testing with 14082 (only).
Stephan pointed out 14082 requires 14099, and Yadav will recheck with 14099.

  14082 Linux: use override_creds when available
  14099 LINUX: Properly revert creds in osi_UFSTruncate

Yadav reports he is investigating the Crowdstrike falcon LSM issue reported on
the lists.  Currently he is looking to see if the approach taken in 10598 can
be adapted to avoid the LSM when files are opened by the initiative of the
kernel and do not have a process context.

  10598 LINUX: Use sock_create_kern where available
