Kernel prepatch 6.1-rc1
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).
