Hi Linus,

Another week, another of these reports - hopefully they're useful.
Since last week I've added a KUnit build and run to the merge, this was
slightly delayed as I found an issue with what was already in -next
which needed fixing first so it's definitely catching issues.

We added a keys-next tree.

Trees being held at old versions:

apparmor next-20260130 (New today)
btrfs-fixes next-20260128 (No response)
leds-lj next-20260108 (Lee aware but no update, submitter ignored)
random next-20260122 (No maintainer response, no fix posted)
vfs-brauner next-20260126 (No response)

There are signoff problems in these trees:

device-mapper
drivers-x86-fixes
risc-v

The drivers-x86-fixes and risc-v trees did fix their prior issues but
added new ones.

Thanks,
Mark
