    Kernel prepatch 6.17-rc1

    Date:
    Sun, 10 Aug 2025 19:38:45 +0000

    Description:
    Linus has released 6.17-rc1 and closed the
    merge window for this development cycle. Anyway, the merge window did end up looking fairly healthy, despite
    me having to go through a couple of bisections for trouble spots
    (one during travels with a laptop - not optimal, but thankfully it
    was at least one of the "reliable symptoms that bisect right to the
    culprit" kind). The stats look pretty normal both in patch size and
    in number of commits. In the end, 11,404 non-merge changesets found their way into the mainline
    during the merge window.
