    Kernel prepatch 6.16-rc6

    Description:
    Linus has released 6.16-rc6 for testing;
    it includes a fix for a somewhat scary regression that came up over the
    week. So I was flailing around blaming everybody and their pet hamster,
    because for a while it looked like a drm issue and then a netlink
    problem (it superficially coincided with separate issues with both
    of those subsystems). But I did eventually figure out how to trigger it reliably and then
    it bisected nicely, and a couple of days have passed, and I'm
    feeling much better about the release again. We're back on track,
    and despite that little scare, I think we're in good shape.
