LWN ☛ Kernel prepatch 6.10-rc2
The second 6.10 kernel prepatch is out for
testing. "Nothing feels particularly odd, but rc2 is usually fairly small and
people are only starting to find regressions.
So please go test some more."

LWN ☛ Linux 6.10-rc2
One third driver fixes, one third filesystems, and one third "random leftovers".
The driver side is sound, networking, nvme, gpu and "misc". The filesystem fixes are mostly bcachefs, but there's some other noise in there too. And the random stuff is the usual mix of arch updates, core networking, seltftests, io_uring, header file fixes etc etc.
Nothing feels particularly odd, but rc2 is usually fairly small and people are only starting to find regressions.
So please go test some more,
Linus

Also in LWN today: (no more paywall)

The rest of the 6.10 merge window
Linus Torvalds released 6.10-rc1 and closed the 6.10 merge window on May 26. By that time, 11,534 non-merge changesets had been pulled into the mainline for the next release; nearly 5,000 of those came in after "The first half of the 6.10 merge window" was written. While the latter half of the merge window tends to focus more on fixes, there was also a lot of new functionality that landed during this time.
