Linus Torvalds has announced the availability of the eighth release candidate for Linux kernel 6.1.

Linux kernel 6.1-rc8 released

So we've finally started calming down, and rc8 is noticeably smaller than previous release candidates.

So everything looks good, and while the calming down may have happened later than I wished for, it did happen. Let's hope this upcoming week is as quiet (or quieter).

The changes here are few enough that scanning through the shortlog below should give you an idea of what's been going on, but it's basically small changes spread all over. Nothing particularly stands out to me.

I'm also happy to see that I already have a few pull requests scheduled for when the 6.2 merge window opens up, so some people are being proactive and want to have everything already lined up for a calm holiday season. Hint, hint.
