Linux 5.13-rc5

![]()
Hmm. Things haven't really started to calm down very much yet, but rc5
seems to be fairly average in size. I'm hoping things will start
shrinking now.
Networking (both drivers and core networking code) is once again
responsible for a fairly big chunk of the fixes in rc5, but there's
certainly a fair number of fixes elsewhere to - architectures (arm64
has mostly devicetree updates, but we've got fixes to x86, mips,
powerpc in there too), other drivers (GPU driver fixes stand out, but
there's also sound, HID, scsi, nvme.. you name it).
And we have a scattering of fixes elsewhere too: filesystems (btrfs,
ext4, gfs2, ocfs, fanotify), soem core vm fixes, and some selftest and
perf tool updates.
Most of the discussion I've seen is already about future things, but
please do give this a whirl and make sure that 5.13 is stable and
good.
Shortlog appended as usual for people who want to scan the details -
you can easily scroll through this to get a feel for the kinds of
things that have been going on. Nothing really looks all that hugely
exciting (unless one of the issues happened to impact you personally,
of course).

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future Tech
The metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world.
Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility.
