Kernel prepatch 6.18-rc7

Date:
Mon, 24 Nov 2025 00:10:02 +0000

Description:
Linus has released 6.18-rc7 , probably the
last -rc before the 6.18 release. So the rc6 kernel wasn't great: we had a 
last-minute core VM
	regression that caused people problems. That's not a great thing late 
in the release cycle like that, but
	it was a fairly trivial fix, and the cause wasn't some horrid bug,
	just a latent gotcha that happened to then bite a late VM fix. So
	while not great, it also doesn't make me worry about the state of
	6.18. We're still on track for a final release next weekend unless
	some big new problem rears its ugly head.
