Linux 5.18-rc4

![]()
Fairly slow and calm week - which makes me just suspect that the other
shoe will drop at some point.
But maybe things are just going really well this release. It's bound
to happen _occasionally_, after all.
It's not only a fairly small set of commits, the diffstat is pretty
small and flat too. The biggest single patch is literally killing off
a zombie file that had already been deleted - well, renamed, really -
once, but it didn't know to stay dead, and was resurrected by a merge
mistake.
The changes are sprinkled all over, they just aren't all that big:
arch updates (sound being the bulk of it, but "bulk" really is fairly
misleading), some driver updates, a couple of filesystem fixes, memory
management, networking, and some tooling (mainly a couple of
selftests).
Scroll through the shortlog below for an overview of the changes.
