LWN ☛ Linux 6.12-rc3
So the diffstat looks a bit odd, because one of the fixes here caused the UTF tables to be regenerated, and an effective one-liner change turned into 6703 lines of diff.
But if you ignore that effect, everything looks normal. We've got all the usual driver updates (gpu and networking dominating as usual, but there's some minor updates in USB, fbdev, mmc, thermal...), some filesystem fixes (xfs, smb client, and ntfs3), some core networking, and some tooling (selftests and some perf trace include file refresh).
And the usual random noise elsewhere (io_uring, scheduler, some MM noise)
Shortlog appended for people who want to quickly scroll through the details. It may not be exciting, but it's better than doomscrolling ...
