Linus has
released 5.11-rc1
and closed the merge window for this development cycle.
“Two weeks have passed, Christmas is over, and so is the merge window.

I want to thank all the maintainers who sent in their pull requests
early: we all wanted to get things done before the holidays really
hit, and mostly it seemed to work quite well.“
