This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 6.18.19 release. There are 333 patches in this series, all will be posted as a response to this one. If anyone has any issues with these being applied, please let me know.
Same build failure as in 6.19.9-rc1 on my 2-socket Ivy Bridge Xeon E5-2697 v2 server:
LD vmlinux.unstripped BTFIDS vmlinux.unstripped WARN: resolve_btfids: unresolved symbol kthread_exit
and git revert 0507972c8244d6454cbfd242157e86bb01971bf2 (kthread: consolidate kthread exit paths to prevent use-after-free) makes the build error go away, but may keep the original bug the patch intended to fix?!
