[$] The rest of the 5.17 merge window
Linus Torvalds released5.17-rc1 and closed the 5.17 merge window on January 23 afterhaving pulled just over 11,000 non-merge changesets into the mainlinerepository. A little over 4,000 of those changesets arrived after our first-half merge-window summary waswritten. Activity thus slowed down, as expected, in the second half of themerge window, but there still a number of significant changes that made itin for the next kernel release.
