Linus Torvalds has released 6.11-rc1 and closed the
merge window for this development cycle. “The merge window felt pretty
normal, and the stats all look pretty normal too. I was expecting things to
be quieter because of summer vacations, but that (still) doesn’t actually
seem to have been the case.”

Note that the extensible scheduler class
(“sched_ext”) was not merged, even though Torvalds had said he would back in June. Sched_ext, it
seems, will need another development cycle out of tree.
