Ok, things have definitely started to calm down, let's hope it staysthis way and it wasn't just a fluke this week.Things look fairly normal, with just under 60% of the changes indrivers (edac, sound, block, pci, etc), and about 30% in arch updates(some misc ptrace fixes, random stuff).The only slightly unusual thing is how over half the arch updates arefor parisc, but that's just a temporary oddity from the fix to theparisc user copy routines, which resulted in a fairly big patch (dueto them just being written as regular assembler code rather than as abroken mess of inline assembly with some C mixed in).The rest is a random mix of some filesystem fixes (nfs[d], btrfs),with some misc core kernel and mm fixes thrown in.Shortlog appended for people who like just skimming the details. It'snot big, just scroll down through it.               Linus
