Linux 5.9釋出啦！

Ok, so I’ll be honest - I had hoped for quite a bit fewer changes this

last week, but at the same time there doesn’t really seem to be

anything particularly scary in here. It’s just more commits and more

lines changed than I would have wished for.

The bulk of this is the networking fixes that I already mentioned as

being pending in the rc8 release notes last weekend. In fact, about

half the patch (and probably more of the number of commits) is from

the networking stuff (both drivers and elsewhere).

Outside of that, the most visible thing is a reinstatement of the

fbdev amba-clcd driver - that’s a noticeable patch, but it’s basically

just mainly a revert.

The rest is really really tiny (mostly some other minor driver

updates, but some filesystem and architecture fixes too). There’s just

a bit more of those kinds of tiny details than there should be fo this

kind of last delayed week. But since nothing in there gives me any

particular reason to delay another week, here we are.

That obviously means that the merge window for 5.10 is open, and I’ll

start doing those pulls tomorrow. I already have a couple of pulls

pending, but I hope people take the time to just do one last test of

the final 5.9 release.

So go get it.
