Linus Torvalds released
5.16-rc1 and ended the 5.16 merge window on November 14, as
expected. At that point, 12,321 non-merge changesets had been pulled into
the mainline; about 5,500 since our summary of
the first half of the merge window was written. As is usually the case,
the patch mix in the latter part of the merge window tended more toward
fixes, but there were a number other changes as well.
