Linux 6.17-rc2 is out
Linus released a smaller-than-usual 6.17-rc2 this week, calling it "one of the smaller rc2 releases we've had lately." The release focuses primarily on driver fixes with the largest change being removal of the drbd page pool code from the block subsystem.
Key areas addressed:
Drivers: Block, GPU, networking, sound, SCSI, and FireWire fixes
Filesystems: Updates to SMB, XFS, EROFS, and Btrfs
Networking: Core networking fixes plus new selftests
Architecture: Mainly x86 fixes
