Kernel prepatch 5.9-rc8

([Kernel] Oct 4, 2020 23:23 UTC (Sun) (corbet))


The [1]eighth and presumably final 5.9 prepatch is out for testing. " So things have been pretty calm, and rc8 is fairly small. I'm still waiting for a networking pull with some fixes, so it's not like I could have made a final 5.9 release even if I had wanted to, but there was nothing scary going on this past week, and it all feels ready for a final 5.9 next weekend. "

Keep me informed on the behaviour of this kernel.. As the "BugFree(tm)"
series didn't turn out too well, I'm starting a new series called the
"ItWorksForMe(tm)" series, of which this new kernel is yet another
shining example.
