Subject: Linux 6.6.73

I'm announcing the release of the 6.6.73 kernel.

Only users of overlayfs need to upgrade, this release reverts some
changes that were reported to be causing problems.  Thanks to Ignat and
Amir for the quick reporting on the issue.

The updated 6.6.y git tree can be found at:
	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-6.6.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;a=summary

thanks,

greg k-h
