Linux 7.2

Linux 7.2

[Linus Torvalds]

Well, this last week of the release was - once again - bigger than I
would have wished for, but hey, with the whole "new normal" thing, if
I delayed releases for that reason we'd probably never have a release
at all.

There are a number of fairly late reverts - the drm scheduling reverts
stand out, but there's a few other ones in here too. It may not be
pretty, but it's the correct way to deal with "oh, that code wasn't
ready and caused problems". People will be trying that again later.

But while the drm reverts stand out and are some of the bigger patches
in here, there's a lot of small fixes all over. Mostly in drivers, but
networking remained fairly active this last week too. And then there
are a few random patches to architecture files and perf core.

With this, the merge window for 7.3 obviously opens tomorrow, and I
already have 40 pending pull requests. I appreciate all the timely
people. You know who you are,

            Linus

So, by the way - it's been 2 years since you updated the fun NAME. I
I was wondering if you were going to update that soon, since it's been
a while. I checked the blame and saw a change for 6.0-rc1, and 6.10-rc1
but not for 7.0-rc1. Not sure if you forgot or if that was intentional.

Maybe something to think about before tagging 7.3-rc1. Or 7.10-rc1. Or
whatever works with your counting system (fingers and toes, if
applicable).

I know there are bigger fish to fry, but for some people, this is
needlessly important (trust me).
