The 7.0 kernel has been released

Linus has released the 7.0 kernel after abusy nine-week development cycle.

The last week of the release continued the same "lots of smallfixes" trend, but it all really does seem pretty benign, so I'vetagged the final 7.0 and pushed it out.

I suspect it's a lot of AI tool use that will keep finding cornercases for us for a while, so this may be the "new normal" at leastfor a while. Only time will tell.

Significant changes in this release includethe removalof the "experimental" status for Rust code,a new filtering mechanism for io_uringoperations,a switch to lazy preemption by default inthe CPU scheduler,support for time-slice extension,the nullfs filesystem,self-healing support for the XFSfilesystem,a number of improvements to the swap subsystem (described in this article and this one),general support for AccECN congestionnotification, and more.See the LWN merge-window summaries (part1, part2) and the KernelNewbies 7.0 page formore details.
