Linux 5.19-rc7
From: Linus Torvalds
Date: Sun Jul 17 2022 - 17:03:10 EST
...
Another week, another rc. We obviously had that whole "Retbleed"
thing, and it does show up in both the diffstat and the shortlog, and
rc7 is definitely bigger than usual.
And also as usual, when we've had one of those embargoed hw issues
pending, the patches didn't get the open development, and then as a
result missed all the usual sanity checking by all the automation
build and test infrastructure we have. So no surprise - there's been
various small fixup patches afterwards too for some corner cases.
That said, last week there were two other development trees that
independently also asked for an extension, so 5.19 will be one of
those releases that have an additional rc8 next weekend before the
final release. We had some last-minute btrfs reverts, and there's also
a pending issue with a intel GPU firmware.
