The 7.1.10, 6.18.46, 6.12.105, 6.6.153, 6.1.184, 5.15.217, and 5.10.266 stable kernels have all been released; each contains another set of important fixes.

From Jeremy Allison we have the sad news of the passing of Steve French. He was the maintainer of the kernel's SMB filesystem code for many years, having only dropped that role due to health issues in the last week. "I've known Steve for over 20 years. He was a legend in the community, and a really good friend. He will be greatly missed. Farewell Steve." He will indeed be missed.
