From Linus Torvalds <> Date Sun, 21 Sep 2025 15:25:40 -0700 Subject Linux 6.17-rc7 Normal week, and unless something oidd happens this is the last rc before 6.17. Mixed random small changes all over with nothing really jumping out. It's all fairly spread out, with no obvious big concentration of fixes anywhere. I don't think there's much of a pattern to any of it, but the shortlog is appended for people who want to look around. Let's keep the testing going, and we'll have the final 6.17 in a week, Linus
