Linus Torvalds took week out of his Father’s Moment to shed Linux 6.4-rc7 as the latest weekly take a look at candidate for this kernel that’s more likely to be formally immune nearest weekend.
Linus wrote in nowadays’s 6.4-rc7 announcement:
“Hmm. Nothing particular stands out in the rc this week, unless you count the mptcp selftest changes that are about making the tests work on stable kernels too. That accounts for almost a quarter of the patch…
Other than that it’s just various driver updates (rdma, gpu, networking and usb, with a smattering of small patches elsewhere), some networking changes, and a couple of filesystem fixes. And the usual random noise elsewhere.”
In case you create worth of the open-source Nouveau driving force for NVIDIA GPUs, one remarkable medication did land this pace and that’s solving the intense factor that crept into Linux 6.3 and resulted in kernel reminiscence being corrupted.
Barring the rest unbalanced from arising this pace, it’s most probably Linux 6.4 solid will likely be out nearest pace in lieu than going with a 6.4-rc8.
See the Linux 6.4 detail evaluation for a have a look at the entire thrilling adjustments on this kernel model.
