Note, using `ccache` (your distro should have that) may speed up a lot the build process, hence drastically decrease the time needed to find the culprit. Taking into account the amount of changes in the kernel it usually takes less than 14 steps (basically amount of how many times you need to build a kernel). > Den sön 3 maj 2026 kl 23:41 skrev Linus Torvalds > : > > > > I bring you tidings of another regular rc release - 7.1-rc2 is out, > > and looks fairly normal. > > > > Now, the raw diffstat doesn't _look_ normal, with half of the diff > > being to the kvm selftests, but that's pretty much entirely due to > > just renaming in the selftests to have the same naming conventions as > > the kernel code has (wrt both variable and type names), so it all > > looks big and strange, but you should just ignore that oddity. > > > > And when that part is masked out, the rest looks very normal - about > > half various driver fixes (gpu and networking dominating as usual), > > with the rest being spread all over the place. > > > > It's not small, and while it's a bit early to say for sure, I do > > suspect we're seeing the same continued pattern of more patches than > > usual - probably due to AI tooling - that we saw in 7.0. > > > > Let's keep testing, [1]: https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/bug-bisect.html https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel_git-bisect -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko
