The 4.3 release cycle continues to be fairly smooth - knock wood.There's nothing particularly worrying here: we had some annoyingfallout from the new strscpy stuff (it's not actually *used* anywhereyet, but we had build failures on some architectures), and a vfs layerchange uncovered an ancient and fascinating ext[34] bug, but on thewhole things look pretty normal. It's the usual "lots of small fixesto drivers and architecture code, with some filesystem updates thrownin for variety". The appended shortlog gives an overview of thedetails.Things also seem to be calming down nicely, although since there wasno network pull this week, we might have a bump from that next rc.Anyway, if you haven't tried a recent kernel lately, feel free to hopright in - it all looks pretty good.
