Linus Torvalds has released the 6.17 kernel. He notes that the shortlog for the changes since -rc7 are pretty tame: It's not exciting, which is all good. I think the biggest patch in there is some locking fixes for some bluetooth races that could cause use-after-free situations. Whee - that's about as exciting as it gets. Other than that, there' the usual driver fixlets (GPU and networking dominate as usual, but "dominate" is still pretty small), there's some minor random other driver updates...
