So you had an extra week to prepare your pull requests, and if youwere planning on sending it in the last two days thinking I'd closethe merge window on Sunday as usual, I can only laugh derisively inyour general direction, and call you bad names. Because I'm notinterested in your excuses. I did warn people about this in the 3.12release notes. As it was, there were a few people who cut it fairlyclose today. You know who you are.If there are pull requests I missed (due to getting caught in spamfilters, or not matching my normal search patterns), and you think yousent your pull request in time but it got overlooked, ping me -because I don't have anything pending I know about, but mistakeshappen.Talking about mistakes... I suspect it was a mistake to have thatextra week before the merge window opened, and I probably should justhave done a 3.12-rc8 instead. Because the linux-next statistics looksuspicious, and we had extra stuff show up there not just in thatfirst week. Clearly people took that "let's have an extra week ofmerge window" and extrapolated it a bit too much. Oh, well. Live andlearn.Anyway, other than that small oddity, this was a fairly normal mergewindow. By patch size we had a pretty usual ~55% drivers, 18%architecture code, 9% network updates, and the rest is spread out (fs,headers, tools, documentation). Featurewise, the big ones are likelythe nftables and the multi-queue block layer stuff, but depending onyour interests you might find all the incremental updates to variousareas interesting. There are some odd ones in there (LE mode Powerpcsupport..)Go forth and test, and start sending me regression fixes. And really,if you didn't send me your pull request in time, don't whine about it.Because nobody likes a whiner.Shortlog of merges appended. The real shortlog is much too big to bereadable, as always for rc1. Linus Articles
