From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>
To: Linux Kernel Mailing List <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>
Subject: Linux 6.17-rc1
So two weeks have passed, and depending on how you see it, rc1 is
either earlier than usual (it's only Sunday morning back home in the
usual timezone) or later than usual (because it's getting to be Sunday
evening here in Finland where I'm cutting the release). I decided to
basically split the difference on my usual "early Sunday afternoon"
schedule.
Anyway, due to travels, I wanted to do most of the heavy lifting the
first week, and I can happily report that that part worked out well. I
wouldn't want to do this most merge windows, but the bulk of the work
was done before travel, and that meant that the straggler pulls were
manageable while traveling. Thanks to everybody who got their pulls in
early - you know who you are.
And the late stragglers then got a slightly more annoyed Linus as a
result. Sorry about that.
Anyway, the merge window did end up looking fairly healthy, despite me
having to go through a couple of bisections for trouble spots (one
during travels with a laptop - not optimal, but thankfully it was at
least one of the "reliable symptoms that bisect right to the culprit"
kind). The stats look pretty normal both in patch size and in number
of commits. That number being large enough that - as always - you only
get the mergelog below as a kind of "view from 10,000ft" of the
development process this time around.
Please do get started testing and fixing,
Linus
