Hi Linus, here is a quick status update wrt. to regressions introduced
in this cycle. This time hand-complied instead of from regzbot (I just
broke something and lack time to fix it):
# Things that might or might not be a good reason for a -rc8
* Btrfs since v6.8-rc6 has a fiemap regression that "can actually have
serious consequences", as mentioned in
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/[email protected]/
The fixes in reply to that mail since Wednesday are in -next as
978b63f7464abc ("btrfs: fix race when detecting delalloc ranges during
fiemap") and 1cab1375ba6d53 ("btrfs: reuse cloned extent buffer during
fiemap to avoid re-allocations"), but not on the way to you afaics.
* A fix for Johan Hovold's last big Lenovo ThinkPad X13s regression
(hard resets disconnecting external displays) is currently up for review
and testing:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/
# Fixes for regressions from this cycle afaics unlikely to reach 6.8
* -next commit 3445139e3a594b ("Revert "Revert "md/raid5: Wait for
MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING in raid5d"""), which reverts a commit from
6.8-rc1; Song thinks it's better to merge it for 6.9 and then backport
to 6.8:

Report: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
* -next commit 0d7dfc79fb9b4b ("drm/msm/a6xx: specify UBWC config for
sc7180" No reply to my recent inquiry why this fix for a commit from
this cycle was queued for 6.9:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
Report: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/msm/-/issues/49 and
https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
# Regressions fixes sitting on the list awaiting review
* "drm/nouveau: keep DMA buffers required for suspend/resume", which
fixes rendering freezes with multi-GPU setups:
https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/[email protected]/
* "Fix divide-by-zero on DP unplug with nouveau" which fixes a divide error:
https://lore.kernel.org/regressions/[email protected]/
* "u64_stats: fix u64_stats_init() for lockdep when used repeatedly in
one file" fixes a lockdep splat
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/
# Regression reports where no fix is in sight afaics
* dmaengine: CPU stalls while loading bluetooth module
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/ and
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/

Revert might be counter-productive.
* x86/mm/ident_map: kexec now leads to reboot
https://lore.kernel.org/stable/[email protected]/
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAJbxNHe3EJ88ABB1aZ8bYZq=a36F0TFST1Fqu4fkugvyU_fjhw@mail.gmail.com/
A revert apparently could fix this.
Ciao, Thorsten
