Subject Linux 6.0-rc2

 

It's Sunday afternoon (ok,early evening, just randomly doing this a
bit later than usual), and there's a new rc out.

Nothing particularly interesting here, rc2 tends to be fairly calm
with people taking a breather and not yet having found a lot of bugs.

The most noticeable fix in here is likely the virtio reverts that
fixed the problem people had with running tests on the google cloud
VMs, which was the "pending issue" that we had noticed just as the
merge window was closing. And it's noticeable - and notable - mainly
because that problem then kept people from running some of the
automated tests and thus finding other issues.

But obviously there's a lot of other things in here too, as per the
appended shortlog. The diffs are somewhat dominated by the amd gpu
fixes - they missed the "drm fixes" pull during the merge window, so
there were a bunch of fixes pending on that side.  But there's some
network driver fixes, some filesystem fixes (btrfs and a late ntfs3
half-fixes-half-updates pull), and the usual set of architecture fixes
and other core code (mainly networking).

And some tooling fixes - a mix of selftests and perf.

Go forth and test,

              Linus
