Roughly a third of the patches in this cycle address the networking subsystem, covering both drivers and core networking code along with related selftests. Other changes include sound and GPU driver fixes, architecture updates for PowerPC, x86, LoongArch, and PA-RISC, plus SMB updates, Rust infrastructure improvements, SELinux fixes, and documentation.
