The fourth release candidate of Linux kernel 5.17 is now available for testing.



Linux kernel 5.17-rc4 released

Things continue to look pretty normal for 5.17. Both the diffstat and the number of commits looks pretty much average for an rc4 release.

About half the changes being to drivers (all over, but as usual gpu and networking is a noticeable part of driver changes), with arch updates showing up next (devicetree updates dominate, but there's "real code" changes too).

Other than that, we've got filesystem fixes, core networking, tooling, and misc core kernel fixlets.

The appended shortlog gives details as usual, nothing in here looks worrisome.
