Linux 6.12-rc4 |

Hmm. I'm not happy with how big this is - it's probably far from the
biggest rc4 ever, but it _is_ the biggest rc4 we've had in the 6.x
series at least in number of commits.
Yeah, yeah, it's quite likely to be due to just random timing of pull
requests, where things have just happened to bunch up. Last week, rc3
was on the smaller side, so maybe that's all it is. But still, it
doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies. Let's hope next week is calm.
That said, while we have a fair number of commits in here, I don't
think there is anything _particularly_ scary going on. A lot of it
really is just very small fixes, and the diffstat shows a lot of one-
and few-liners (but there are certainly bigger things going on too -
it's not *all* those).
The changes are all over, with about a third being drivers (GPU and
networking as always, but there really is a bit of everything in
there). The rest is filesystems (bcachefs dominates, but smb and xfs
show up too), some core kernel (scheduler, networking, bpf, tracing),
and the usual random smattering all over (bpf settests show up, for
example, some doc fixes, some arch fixes). Shortlog appended as
always.
Please give it a whirl,
Linus
