It's been a calm release this time around, and the last week was
really no different. So here we are, right on schedule, with the 6.3
release out and ready for your enjoyment.

That doesn't mean that something nasty couldn't have been lurking all
these weeks, of course, but let's just take things at face value and
hope it all means that everything is fine, and it really was a nice
controlled release cycle. It happens.

This also obviously means the merge window for 6.4 will open tomorrow.
I already have two dozen pull requests waiting for me to start doing
my pulls, and I appreciate it. I expect I'll have even more when I
wake up tomorrow.

But in the meantime, let's enjoy (and test) the 6.3 release. As
always, the shortlog below is just this last week's worth of fixes,
which is a pretty random collection.  Some misc VM fixes stand out,
but that sounds scarier than it is - they stand out mainly because
everything else is small, and it's unusual to see the mm/ subdirectory
in the diffstat. But it's all pretty small, and a fair chunk of it is
for things like kmsan, not "normal" VM code. Although there's still
some fallout from the conversion to the maple tree and vma iterator.
Let's hope we're all done with that pain.

Anyway - I think we're in good shape, but please do try to prove me
wrong: testing in the real world is where it's at.

Valami miatt Archra nem akar megérkezni, még a Testing tárolóba sem. Pedig a kernel kiadásától számított 24 órán belül elérhető szokott lenni.

Szerk.: végül ápr. 30-án megjött az Arch Testingbe, de elég sok csomag frissült egyszerre, 111 darab, néztem is, ilyen rég nem volt. A 6.3-mal semmit nem tapasztalok a 6.2.13-hoz képest, semmi nem gyorsabb, nem lassabb, nem bugosabb.
