ell, that's more like it.This is a *tiny* rc7, just how I like it. Maybe it's because everybodyis too busy prepping for the holidays, and maybe it's because wesimply are doing well. Regardless, it's been a quiet week, and I hopethe trend continues.The patch looks pretty small too, although it's skewed by a couple ofbigger fixes (re-apply i915 workarounds after reset, and dm zoned biocompletion fix). Other than that it's mainly all pretty small, andspread out (usual bulk of drivers, but some arch updates, filesystemfixes, core fixes, test updates..)The plan remains the same: if everything continues normally, I'llrelease 4.20 just before christmas, and then just have a moreleisurely merge window than normal. I already have a few early pullrequests, and I continue to encourage people to take that approach,instead of sending things in during the holiday season.                Linus
