  So let's see if this rc ends up avoiding any silly issues - things
  certainly look pretty normal, and there were no hurried last-minute
  changes this week due to system upgrades. And the locking mishap with
  local_trylock reported by phoronix (which didn't trigger on all
  compiler versions, so you saw it or not depending on what compiler you
  used) also got sorted out.
  
  
  In fact, we seem to have reached the point where much of the
  discussion is about future changes. Which tends to be a good sign.
  
  
  The rc4 diffstat looks pretty good - mostly flat with some (untimely,
  but still fairly small) openrisc updates and bcachefs
  case-insensitivity patches standing out. But the rest looks like just
  a lot of tiny fixes.
  
  
  And by "a lot" I don't even mean anything excessive - it's all very
  normal for the rc4 timeframe.
  
  
  Please do keep testing,
  
  
              Linus
