Kernel prepatch 5.9-rc1

[Posted August 16, 2020 by corbet]

Linux has released the 5.9-rc1 kernel prepatch and closed the merge window for this development cycle. "This merge window felt a lot more normal than 5.8, and all the stats confirm that it seems to be the usual size." In the end, 12,866 non-merge changesets were pulled for 5.9-rc1, as compared to 14,206 for 5.8-rc1.

Thanks to Jonathan for continuing to hang out with us.
