Subject: Linux 6.16.3

I'm announcing the release of the 6.16.3 kernel.

All users of the 6.16 kernel series that use the ext4 filesystem should
upgrade.

The updated 6.16.y git tree can be found at:
	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-6.16.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
