Hi all, As usual, the executive friendly graph is at http://neuling.org/linux-next-size.html :-) (No merge commits counted, next-20211101 was the first linux-next after the merge window opened.) Commits in v5.16-rc1 (relative to v5.15): 12319 Commits in next-20211101: 11753 Commits with the same SHA1: 10811 Commits with the same patch_id: 475 (1) Commits with the same subject line: 43 (1) (1) not counting those in the lines above. So commits in -rc1 that were in next-20211101: 11329 91% Some breakdown of the list of extra commits (relative to next-20211101) in -rc1: Top ten first word of commit summary: 87 perf 68 drm 67 net 31 mfd 30 pci 29 dt-bindings 27 selftests 27 kvm 21 nfs 21 alsa Top ten authors: 45 miquel.raynal@bootlin.com 41 irogers@google.com 19 acme@redhat.com 16 mcgrof@kernel.org 15 ming.lei@redhat.com 15 kuba@kernel.org 15 anna.schumaker@netapp.com 13 axboe@kernel.dk 13 alexandre.belloni@bootlin.com 12 trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com Top ten commiters: 99 davem@davemloft.net 92 acme@redhat.com 64 axboe@kernel.dk 51 alexander.deucher@amd.com 50 lee.jones@linaro.org 40 trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com 36 stfrench@microsoft.com 30 pbonzini@redhat.com 29 daniel@iogearbox.net 25 kuba@kernel.org There are also 424 commits in next-20211101 that didn't make it into v5.16-rc1.
