Linux 7.4-rc3 Released: "The Usual Noise All Over"

The third weekly release candidate of Linux 7.4 is now available for testing. It's been another busy week of bug and regression fixing in the AI fueled open-source development world. There continues to be a lot of fixes landing in the kernel each day. Linus Torvalds wrote in today's 7.4-rc3 announcement: ".. another week, another big -rc. It looks fairly normal, with drivers (networking and gpu) leading the charge. There's lots and lots of changes, but most of the actual patches are tiny. Filesystems actually show in in the diffstat because we have a couple of bigger patches in there, notably a calling convention change for iomap that ends up being fairly trivial but large, and a few smb client fixes. We also have various selftests and some documentation updates. .. and the usual noise all over.
