Linux 6.2-rc5
posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jan 22, 2023
Ok, so I thought we were back to normal after the winter holidays at
rc4. Now, a week later, I think I was mistaken - we have fairly
sizable rc5, so I suspect there was still pent up testing and fixes
from people being off.
Anyway, I am expecting to do an rc8 this release regardless, just
because we effectively had a lost week or two in the early rc's, so a
sizable rc5 doesn't really worry me. I do hope we're done with the
release candidates growing, though.
Anyway, there's a bit of everything in rc5: various driver updates
(gpu, rdma, networking, tty, usb..), some architecture updates (mostly
loongarch and arm64), some filesystem updates, some core networking,
and tooling.
The shortlog is appended as usual. Nothing particularly odd stands out to me.
Please do test,
Linus
