Subject: Linux 4.18-rc1
You may think it's still Saturday for me, and that I should give you
one more day of merge window to send in some last-minute pull
requests, but I know better. I'm in Japan, and it's Sunday here. Plus
I hope to spend much of this Sunday on a boat (assuming the swells
allow it), so I'm closing the merge window early morning rather than
in the afternoon.
So here we are - no more merge window, so please don't even try to
send me updates any more. Just fixes, please.
This release looks fairly regular - both in size and in behavior. We
actually have managed to shrink things a bit more this release too, as
people have clearly gotten excited about the whole "let's remove old
unused code". It's not nearly as noticeable as it was for 4.17, but
rc1 has actually caused a bit of shrinkage:
12356 files changed, 505769 insertions(+), 612979 deletions(-)
where one component of that is the removal of Lustre.
The removal of Lustre may not be all that notable, because it does
look like a lot of the development has been happening out of tree,
which may be why it never really ended up working as well as people
hoped in the staging tree. Greg clearly got pretty frustrated about
it, so now it's gone.
But there's a few other drivers that are gone too, sometimes because
the hardware was never actually released to a wider public. You can go
see the details in the git history.
Anyway, the real work is obviously all the fixes and new features,
and there's a lot of that too. Much too much to have an exhaustive
shortlog, so as usual for my merge window close emails, what's
appended is just my "merge shortlog", mentioning the trees that I've
pulled, without any of the details from the individual commits. And as
always, the credited person on the list below is the maintainer I've
pulled from, which is not necessarily at all the same as the developer
that write the code.
We had 1500+ developers attributed as authors in this merge window,
and the below lists 91 maintainers, so just think about that for a
while.
Anyway, go out and test,
Linus
