• Linux 6.4-rc2

  It's Mother's Day, which obviously means that you can surprise her
  with a brand new kernel. And you're in luck, since I just happened to
  push out the very newest one: 6.4-rc2 is out there in all the usual
  places.
  
  
  This being rc2, it's been a fairly calm week as people are only
  starting to find any issues from the merge window, but it all looks
  fine. The stats are unusual, in that it's about a third drivers
  (mostly gpu, some media and networking), a third filesystems (ext4,
  btrfs, and xfs), and a third "miscellaneous" (mostly selftests and
  documentation updates, but there's some arch updates and some core
  kernel code too).
  
  
  The shortlog is appended, it's easy enough to just quickly scroll
  through it to get a flavor of the kinds of fixes have been going
  around..
  
  
  Now, back to our regularly scheduled Mother's Day kernel compiles,
