I'm announcing the release of the 6.16.7 kernel.
All users of the 6.16 kernel series must upgrade.
The updated 6.16.y git tree can be found at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-6.16.y
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:

thanks,
greg k-h
