Linux 4.10 rc6

So this week seemed very calm, and rc6 looked like it was going to bea nice tiny release. Just like I want it.... and then Friday happened, and the small and calm release candidatesomehow blew up to not be all that small after all.Oh well. It's not like this is a new pattern - people end up pushingme their work for the week on Friday, and that's been going on for afew years by now, and I've mentioned it before. It was just even morenoticeable than usual.And that late set of pull requests that came in Friday (with a couplethis weekend) pushed rc6 to be the biggest rc so far during thisrelease cycle (that's obviously not counting rc1).It's still not all that big by historical standards, since 4.10 hasgenerally been pretty calm, but it's a bit distressing. I was hopingto do the usual "rc7 is the last rc" release schedule for once (withboth 4.8 and 4.9 pushing out to rc8), and I really want things to calmdown for that to happen.We'll see.Anyway, there's nothing that particularly worries me in rc6 apart fromthe lack of slowing down, and that _may_ just be timing (ie noteverybody sends their updates every rc, so sometimes you just getthings bunching up more). So I'm not giving up on the "rc7 is the lastrc" dream yet.The changes are mostly in drivers (GPU and networking stand out, butrdma and media and MD are pretty noticeable too), with the rest beingmostly generic networking and some XFS updates, with the usual randomsmattering of patches elsewhere.Go test,             Linus
