Subject: Linux 6.18

So I'll have to admit that I'd have been happier with slightly less
bugfixing noise in this last week of the release, but while there's a
few more fixes than I would hope for, there was nothing that made me
feel like this needs more time to cook. So 6.18 is tagged and pushed
out.

Most of the last-minute fixes are minor fixes to drivers, with some
random noise elsewhere (bluetooth, ceph, afs..). Nothing strikes me as
standing out, but hey, there's a shortlog appended if you want to see
the details.

And this obviously means that the merge window will open tomorrow, and
I already have three dozen pull requests pending. Thanks. And as I
already mentioned a couple of weeks ago in one of the rc release
notes, this upcoming release will have the merge window coincide with
the yearly kernel maintainer summit, which means that I'll be
traveling the second week. I hope to have all the bulk of the merge
window done before travels and that it won't be all that noticeable,
but we'll see.

So the actual rc1 release might be delayed by travel, but that will
*not* mean that I would accept late merge window pull requests. It
just means that I might not deal with on-time requests quite as timely
manner as is the norm, and maybe rc1 will be delayed by timezones and
a day or two. Just a heads-up (but I've done the "travel during the
second week of the merge window" thing before, and usually the impact
is fairly low).

And then later in the 6.19 release, we have the holiday season. That
typically delays the release by a week.

Now, when looking at the calendar, I'm not 100% sure an extra week
would be needed for 6.19, because even a regular release schedule
would make it be in February. And people will presumably have gotten
over their food coma by then. But right now my plan is to just make
6.19 go to rc8 just because I don't see much downside to adding that
extra week to make up for any possibly lost time.

Anyway, *today* the important kernel is the newly minted 6.18 release.
Please do keep testing,

            Linus
