Kernel prepatch 6.16-rc6

Date:
Mon, 14 Jul 2025 00:35:13 +0000

Description:
Linus has released 6.16-rc6 for testing;
it includes a fix for a somewhat scary regression that came up over the
week. So I was flailing around blaming everybody and their pet hamster,
	because for a while it looked like a drm issue and then a netlink
	problem (it superficially coincided with separate issues with both
	of those subsystems). But I did eventually figure out how to trigger 
it reliably and then
	it bisected nicely, and a couple of days have passed, and I'm
	feeling much better about the release again. We're back on track,
	and despite that little scare, I think we're in good shape.
