Hi Greg 6.16.3-rc1 compiles on x86_64 (Xeon E5-1620 v2, Slackware64-15.0), and boots & runs on x86_64 (AMD Ryzen 5 7520U, Slackware64-current). No regressions observed, apart from the one already mentioned for 6.16.2-rc1. Thus I tested 6.16.3-rc1 with V3 of the patch and it seems to work ok: https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20250821105806.1453833-1-wangzijie1@honor.com/ Tested-by: Markus Reichelt <lkt+2023@mareichelt.com>

UDP broadcast is broken in this kernel - the destination ethernet address field is mangled. See: https://lore.kernel.org/regressions/20250823121336.18492-4-bacs@librecast.net/ As this is bug-for-bug compatible with mainline, I believe stable policy is to wait until this is fixed there before backporting a fix. All other Librecast network tests passing. # Librecast Test Results 010/010 [ OK ] libmld 120/120 [ OK ] liblibrecast CPU/kernel: Linux auntie 6.16.3-rc1-g3fb8628191b4 #47 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sat Aug 23 12:39:17 -00 2025 x86_64 AMD Ryzen 9 9950X 16-Core Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux Tested-by: Brett A C Sheffield <bacs@librecast.net>
