> Hmm. Usually rc2 is a pretty quiet week, and it mostly started out

that way too, but then things took a turn for the strange. End result:

6.1-rc2 ended up being unusually large.

The main reason is fairly benign, though: Mauro had screwed up the

media tree pull request during the merge window, so rc2 ends up having

a "oops, here's the part that was missing" moment. Since it had all

been in linux-next (yes, I checked, so nobody else should try that

trick), I ended up pulling that missing part during the rc2 week.

But if you ignore that media tree portion, things look pretty normal for an rc2.

Anyway, ignoring those media changes, we have a little bit of

everything in here - arch updates, drivers (gpu, device mapper,

networking), EFI, some core kernel fixes (mm, scheduler, cgroup,

networking). The full shortlog is appended (and that shortlog does

include the media pieces).

Please do go test,
