Linux 5.11 rc2

Ok, let's be honest - not a lot has happened in the last week or two.The merge window itself may not have been hugely impacted by theholiday season, but that's because all the new code should alreadyhave been ready before the merge window even opened, so the holidaysjust didn't end up affecting things all that much.But people have (rightly) mostly been offline since, presumablyover-eating and doing all the other traditional holiday things. Andjust generally not being hugely active. That very much shows in a tinyrc2 release.I expect next week to slowly start ramping up fixes, but I know somepeople are still on vacation or just in an extended food coma, andthere's a delay from testing to fixes, so we'll see. Maybe rc3 ends upbeing fairly small too.It's much too early to say whether this will then end up causing somedelays in the final release - it's possible, but with 5.11 not being aparticularly big release maybe it doesn't even matter that we had afairly quiet week or two in the early rc series.Anyway, for whatever reasons, the few fixes we _do_ have in rc2 tendto be mostly in SCSI and block devices. But there's a randomsmattering of other things too. For once, the shortlog is so smallthat you might as well just read it.Time to slowly crawl out from under all the xmas wrapping paper pilesand go test...               Linus
