Linux 5.12-rc2
Ok, so this is a couple of days early, but rc1 had the nasty swapfile issue, so I'm just accelerating rc2 a bit. Outside of the swapfile IO offset fix, the only other thing that stands out is some io_uring thread handling re-organization, which not only solved a few fundamental issues, but actually made the code smaller and simpler too. Other than that it all looks pretty normal: drivers dominate (with sound being most notable, with the ASoC Intel SOF support being split up sanely). But there's some btrfs work, kvm, iscsi, etc. A few random things all over. Shortlog appended for your viewing pleasure, and I sincerely hope (and believe) that rc2 is in a lot better shape than rc1 was. Linus
