[Test-Announce] Kernel 6.7 Test Week is underway!

[Sumantro Mukherjee]

Hey Folks,

As most of you might know, Kernel 6.7 Test Week is currently happening[0]
I have figured out that, I can't login to FAS from the Kernel Test
Result site[1].
If you are also someone who is stuck, please follow the infra issue
filed here[2].
And please submit the results here[3]

If you have still not participated and have some free time, we urge you to
take part in testing!

We are also sorry for the inconvenience caused due to login issues.
Thanks for testing :)

This is not accurate.  The 6.7.3 (and 6.6.15) updates did break the
nvidia driver. It has nothing to do with debugging being enabled.   A
proper and valid bugfix:

5ec8e8ea8b7783fab150cf86404fc38cb4db8800 mm/sparsemem: fix race in
accessing memory_section->usage

added calls to rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() which use symbols
that are exported GPL only. This was not some attempt to stab at
nvidia, but their non-GPL module is failing as a result because that
bug fix now pulls those calls into their driver build.  Some people
have suggested removing the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL on these symbols and
leaving them as regular exports.  That is not a valid fix for Fedora
to carry for many reasons.  I will leave 6.7.3 in updates testing for
a while to give nvidia some time to come up with a work around, but at
some point things have to move forward, and I will not hold non nvidia
users bugfixes hostage because of an out of tree driver, this has
always been Fedora's policy.

Thanks for holding the push to testing, I have managed to patch nvidia 545.xx and
550.xx so

470.xx is also patched.

I think it is ok to push the new kernel to testing, the legacy nvidia drivers
shouldn't hold up the new kernel.

Much appreciated. It has already been noted that the updated packages work.
