So things have been pretty calm, and rc8 is fairly small. I'm stillwaiting for a networking pull with some fixes, so it's not like Icould have made a final 5.9 release even if I had wanted to, but therewas nothing scary going on this past week, and it all feels ready fora final 5.9 next weekend.In fact, a lot of the emails I'm seeing are about the next mergewindow, and I already have one pull request ready to go, which is allgood. That's how it's all supposed to work.Anyway, the changes in rc8 are mostly driver fixlets, with some AMDGPU header file updates being a fairly noticeable part of the patch.That's not some scary big change - it' just the usual registerdefinition update (and much smaller than the wholesale big ones we'vehad).Outside of the driver stuff, we do have a few filesystem fixes (btrfsand nfs), and a couple of core fixes (tiny fallout from the VMchanges, but also a pipe splice race fixlet for stable and a couple ofepoll fixes). And slime other small noise (small arch and DT fixes).Quite a small diffstat overall - which it obviously should be thislate in the release.One final push for testing this week, Linus Articles
