Build results:
total: 158 pass: 157 fail: 1
Failed builds:
xtensa:allmodconfig
Qemu test results:
total: 537 pass: 537 fail: 0
Unit test results:
pass: 213087 fail: 63
Failed unit tests:
sh:rts7751r2dplus_defconfig:checksum

i386:pc:test_next_pointer
i386:pc:slub_test
x86_64:q35:test_next_pointer
x86_64:q35:slub_test
Fixes to address the problems seen in my tests are:
da7bf52309b2 usb: ohci: Prevent missed ohci interrupts
6314201f467f mm/slub, kunit: Use inverted data to corrupt kmem cache
db4ade1cccf9 m68k: fix spinlock race in kernel thread creation
9ea544ad0f56 net: dev_addr_lists: move locking out of init/exit in kunit
x c2ea0ff8714f ext4: implement filesystem specific alloc_inode in unit test
7692d5469f1f Revert "sh: Handle calling csum_partial with misaligned data"
x 2a1de3ca9cb6 xtensa: remove redundant flush_dcache_page and ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE macros
The patches are in the 'fixes' branch of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/groeck/linux-staging.git
in case anyone is interested in details. Note that the SHAs may change
since the branch is rebased on a regular basis.
Only patches marked with 'x' are regressions introduced in this release
cycle. The other patches fix long-standing issues. Some of the unit tests
fixed with the above patches are not included in the test results; for
example, running ext4 unit tests without the fix results in memory
corruptions. The m68k and usb patches fix spurious problems.
Thanks,
Guenter
