It's Mother's Day, which obviously means that you can surprise her

with a brand new kernel. And you're in luck, since I just happened to

push out the very newest one: 6.4-rc2 is out there in all the usual

places.

This being rc2, it's been a fairly calm week as people are only

starting to find any issues from the merge window, but it all looks

fine. The stats are unusual, in that it's about a third drivers

(mostly gpu, some media and networking), a third filesystems (ext4,

btrfs, and xfs), and a third "miscellaneous" (mostly selftests and

documentation updates, but there's some arch updates and some core

kernel code too).

The shortlog is appended, it's easy enough to just quickly scroll

through it to get a flavor of the kinds of fixes have been going

around..

Now, back to our regularly scheduled Mother's Day kernel compiles,

The second 6.4 kernel prepatch is out for testing. ""This being rc2, it's been a fairly calm week as people are only starting to find any issues from the merge window, but it all looks fine.""
