This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 6.1.83 release.
There are 451 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.

Responses should be made by Tue Mar 26 11:11:59 PM UTC 2024.
Anything received after that time might be too late.

The whole patch series can be found in one patch at:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git/patch/?id=linux-6.1.y&id2=v6.1.82

Thanks,

Greg & Sasha, thanks for all your hard work.

Just to report I upgraded eight x86-64 machines from a 5.15.x kernel to 6.1.82 plus all patches in the stable queue as of Saturday 23rd March 11pm GMT. That's the vast majority of this series as Greg & Sasha have dropped a dozen or so and added 68 new since I built my kernel. Ha ha what fun living on the edge :-)

All are running fine 24+ hrs later, no noticeable issues, nothing untoward in dmesg.

They are:
6 x custom AMD Ryzen servers
1 x Intel IvyBridge era server
1 x Intel Skylake era laptop

All running various workloads and with a mixture of addon network/sas/sata/graphics cards from a variety of manufacturers. Some uefi booted, some bios booted.

Also zero warnings in the build output using gcc 13.2.1.

Just to be clear, the 68 patches listed below, which are in this series, were NOT in the kernel I tested.
