Linus has released 6.1-rc1 and closed themerge window for this development cycle.

This isn't actually shaping up to be a particularly large release:we "only" have 11.5k non-merge commits during this merge window,compared to 13.5k last time around. So not exactly tiny, butsmaller than the last few releases. At least in number of commits.

That said, we've got a few core things that have been brewing for along time, most notably the multi-gen LRU VM series, and theinitial Rust scaffolding (no actual real Rust code in the kernelyet, but the infrastructure is there).
