This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 6.0.18 release. There are 177 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.

There is an easy-to-trigger kernel panic in cifs which was introduced in 6.0.16 and could be fixed by backporting the following commit:
9ee2afe5207b ("cifs: prevent copying past input buffer boundaries")
Please see https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216895 for the details
Could this commit be added as well to 6.0.18?
It is too late for this release, we can add it to the next one. Or you can move to 6.1.y which you should be doing anyway as 6.0.y is about to go end-of-life in a few days.
thanks,
