So this was the week when the other shoe dropped ...  The reason thetwo previous rc releases were so nice and small was that David hadn'tsent me much networking fixes, and they came in this week.That said, it's not really a huge rc this week either, so it's allgood. But the networking pull this week does mean that almost exactlyhalf of the diff is core networking, network drivers, or networkingdocumentation updates.The rest is other drivers (mostly gpu, but also scsi, nvma, pci,pinctrl..), some arch updates (arc, x86, nds32, powerpc), and "misc"(tooling, header files, some vm and fs noise).The small but nasty VM bug we had earlier did indeed get fixed lastrc, but there was some 32-bit fallout from the fix, so rc5 still hadissues. But I'm hopeful that rc6 _really_ fixed all the cases.Shortlog appended for people who want to just get an overview of the details,             Linus
