Kernel prepatch 7.4-rc1
The 7.4-rc1 kernel prepatch is out, and the merge window is closed for this development cycle. This is a *BIG* merge window. I think the reason is the by now obvious one, but I'm actually taking it as a good sign: I'm *much* happier with the flood of AI triggered work going into the merge window than it showing up mainly as extra fixes during the -rc period. So I'm hoping that this merge window being larger than usual is a sign that the AI fixes are becoming more part of the "normal development" than a flood of fixes that go into the whole stabilization phase. I think that's a much healthier model. There were 18,591 non-merge changesets brought in during this merge window — this is not just a record, but it nearly matches the patch volume during the entire (record-setting) 7.3 development cycle. So far, 2,678 developers have contributed to 7.4; 625 of them are first-time kernel contributors. Subscribers can find more details in the KSDB 7.4 page.
