Hi all,Yet again, it's time for a kernel -rc release.  This one is bigger than-rc6 was, for a variety of unrelated reasons it seems.  Lots ofdifferent trees being merged this week, much more so than the previousone.  Highlights include two sets of networking fixes, lots of differentdriver subsystem fixes, arm and arm64 and x86 and riscv and powerpc64fixes, as well as scheduler, iommu, and vfs fixes.  Not a huge quantityoverall, just overall a lot of different things.Given the current rate of change, and looking at the travel/conferenceschedule happening this month, it seems like we will be having a -rc8just to be sure 4.19 is solid as well as not having to be in the middleof a merge window during a conference week.  Please go test and makesure any remaining problems are sent in in time.thanks,greg k-h
