The 6.19-rc2 kernel prepatch is out for testing.

Linux 6.19-rc2 [LWN.net]
So we've had a pretty quiet week, as is normal for rc2. Not very many commits, and the diff isn't all that big either. And a lot of it is actually just selftests and documentation updates - about a third of the patch, to be exact.
Another third is driver updates (GPU and networking being the bulk of it, as is tradition).
And the final third is "the rest": architecture fixes, filesystem fixes, networking and core kernel.
Nothing particularly stands out, but the shortlog is appended for people who want to get a view into the details.
I obviously expect next week to be even quieter, with people being distracted by the holidays. So let's all enjoy taking a little break, but maybe break the boredom with some early rc testing?
