Linus has released the 6.0 kernel asexpected.
So, as is hopefully clear to everybody, the major version numberchange is more about me running out of fingers and toes than it isabout any big fundamental changes.But of course there's a lot of various changes in 6.0 - we've gotover 15k non-merge commits in there in total, after all, and assuch 6.0 is one of the bigger releases at least in numbers ofcommits in a while.
Headline features in 6.0 includea number of io_uring improvements including support for buffered writes toXFS filesystems and zero-copy networktransmission,an io_uring-based block driver mechanism,the runtime verification subsystem,and much more; seethe LWN merge-window summaries (part 1,part 2) for more information.
