Linux 6.5-rc4 (UPDATED)
So here we are, and the 6.5 release cycle continues to look entirely normal.
In fact, it's *so* normal that we have hit on a very particular (and peculiar) pattern with the rc4 releases: we have had *exacty* 328 non-merge commits in rc4 in 6.2, 6.3 and now 6.5. Weird coincidence.
And honestly, that weird numerological coincidence is just about the most interesting thing here. Because rc5 looks like the usual thing: driver updates (perhaps a bit more spread out than usual, but that's because of pulls from all of Greg's trees), arch updates, and random fixes elsewhere (filesystems, rtmutex, kvm selftests, documentation etc).
Details in the appended shortlog for people who want to scan through it.
I'm not complaining. Boring release candidates is exactly what I want. Keep the testing and the boring pulls coming,
Linus
