Things continue to look normal, and things hav ebeen fairly calm. Yes,the VM THP cleanup seems to still be problematic on s390, but otherthan that I don't see anything particularly worrisome.So another week, another rc. The patch looks pretty normal, with about55% drivers (drm and clk drivers stand out, but aren't alone) andalmost 20% arch updates (arm, m68k, powerpc, s390, x86). The rest isspread out - filesystems (ext4, efi, cifs), some core kernel andheader files. And a few documentation updates. Everything fairlysmall.The shortlog is appended.
