Linux 6.11-rc6 Released With More Bcachefs Fixes & Other Kernel Fixes


Like with last week's Linux 6.11-rc5 release, Linux 6.11-rc6 is out a half-day early due to Linus Torvalds' ongoing foreign travels

Things look pretty normal, although we have perhaps unusually many filesystem fixes here, spread out over smb, xfs, bcachefs and netfs. That said, driver fixes obviously still dominate the diffstat - "more than perhaps usual" still doesn't make the filesystem changes _that_ big. Outside of drivers (all the usual suspects) and filesystems, we have various architecture fixes (although honestly, that's mostly arm64 dts files), some core networking, and some selftest updates related to that.
