Re: Quick announcement on the selinux/next and audit/next branches

Hello all,
As many of you are aware, normally with the close of the merge window
and the release of -rc1 I typically reset the selinux/next and
audit/next branches to Linus' -rc1 tag. However, as you may have
heard already, there is a nasty problem with the early v5.12 kernels,
including -rc1, which could result in some fairly serious fs
corruption (see the LWN article below). With that in mind, I'm not
going to reset the selinux/next and audit/next branches for this
development cycle ...
That idea was spectacularly short lived :/ Assuming -rc2 fixes the
swapfile bug, I'll plan on rebasing both -next branches to -rc2 early
next week. This should have zero impact on the audit tree (audit/next
is current empty), and a minimal impact on the selinux/next branch as
we only have one small patch in there at the moment.
If for some reason this causes anyone a problem due to merge
conflicts, you can still submit your patches (assuming they apply
cleanly to the stable-5.12 branch) and I'll take care of the conflict.
Thanks for your understanding.
