Linus Torvalds has announced the release of Linux kernel 5.17.

Linux kernel 5.17 released

So we had an extra week of at the end of this release cycle, and I'm happy to report that it was very calm indeed. We could probably have skipped it with not a lot of downside, but we did get a few last-minute reverts and fixes in and avoid some brown-paper bugs that would otherwise have been stable fodder, so it's all good.

And that calm last week can very much be seen from the appended shortlog - there really aren't a lot of commits in here, and it's all pretty small. Most of it is in drivers (net, usb, drm), with some core networking, and some tooling updates too.

It really is small enough that you can just scroll through the details below, and the one-liner summaries will give a good flavor of what happened last week.

Of course, this means that the merge window for 5.18 will be open starting tomorrow, and I already have about a dozen pull requests waiting in my inbox. I appreciate the early pull requests: it gives me that warm and fuzzy feeling of "this was all ready in plenty of time". Judging by the statistics in linux-next, it looks like 5.18 will be a bit bigger than 5.17 was, but hopefully without some of the drama.

So go test this, and we'll get 5.18 started tomorrow.
