From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>
To: Linux Kernel Mailing List <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>
Subject: Linux 6.17-rc6

Things remain pretty calm, and for some reason this release seems to
just not have a ton of problems. Hopefully I'm not jinxing it.

It might just have been people being on vacation in August (read:
Europe) which has caused this release to be nice and calm, but
whatever the reason I'm certainly not complaining.

Somewhat unusually, almost a third of the patch is from filesystem
fixes, but that seems to be pure coincidence: not because there are
any particularly large fixes, but because we just happened to
independently have fixes in several different filesystems (ceph, smb
client, nfs, erofs, btrfs). So just random timing.

Another third is driver fixes (gpu being half of it, the rest being
other random drivers), and the final third is just "misc other stuff":
core networking, another CPU speculation mitigation, some
documentation fixes, some selftest updates, and minor noise elsewhere.
Shortlog appended as usual.

But really, none of it is very large. So everything seems slated for a
normal release in two weeks.

Please do keep testing, so that we don't get complacent,

            Linus
