So the 6.2 rc releases are continuing to be fairly small and

controlled, to the point where normally I'd just say that this is the

last rc. But since I've stated multiple times that I'll do an rc8 due

to the holiday start of the release, that's what I'll do. And we do

have a few regressions outstanding that Thorsten is tracking, so just

as well.

Nothing in here looks all that scary, and we just have smallish fixes

all over the tree, in all the usual places. I think the single biggest

patch is a race fix to zsmalloc, which I guess is fairly unusual, but

I think that's more indicative of everything else being pretty small.

We've got driver fixes (gpu, networking, sound, but a smattering of

other stuff too), some core mm stuff (that zsmalloc one dominating),

various selftest updates, and just random other things. The shortlog

below gives the details.
