Linux 5.15-rc7
So the normal Sunday release was spoiled by me spending more time in airplanes without wifi, and I didn't feel like doing an evening release while tired, so here we are, midday Monday, and with tc7 a day later than usual. But the delay isn't because of any kernel trouble. In fact, the worry I had last week about a big rc6 turned out to be just a false alarm due to timing of pulls, and rc7 looks nice and small, right in the range of normal. Both the number of commits and the diffstat looks fine. It's all pretty small and flat (meaning mostly small trivial changes) with just a couple of peaks for some x86 kvm code, and some ksmbd changes. Nothing particularly interesting or scary stands out, and it's a fairly eclectic mix with networking, kvm, selftests, and some core mm stuff. With all the usual random small fixes. The appended shortlog isn't too long to scan to get a feel for the details, but I think the take-way here is that it all looks pretty normal, and if nothing special happens this week, this is likely the last rc before final 5.15. But please do give it a good testing to make sure we've shaken out any issues. I have yet more travel coming up next week, so it would be very convenient for me to delay the merge window if I get the excuse to do so, but right now that looks unlikely. Linus

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
