The release of Linux kernel 6.15-rc7 brings several fixes and improvements to the kernel. The kernel includes bug mitigations, such as using value to check for invalid delays, fixing memory leaks, and enabling BLK_FEAT_ATOMIC_WRITES for multipathing. Other changes include fixing self deadlock, removing duplicate BTF_ID_FLAGS definitions, and fixing the rq lock state in hotplug ops. The patch also includes a slightly bigger patch for sched-ext. The kernel has been updated with fixes for various issues, such as addressing a typo in MT7988 ESW capability and fixing a folio leak in submit_one_async_extent(). The final 6.15 release is expected next weekend.
The list of changes in the X86 kernel includes fixes for various issues, such as split 1024-byte hexdumps, SND_AICA dependency on SH_DMA_API, and more. The list also includes fixes for USB 2.0 host detection failure, wlan_ctrl_by_user detection, and CGX Receive counters. Other improvements include introducing NULL check in uclogic_input_configured(), introducing the devmem_only flag for allocation, and fixing LDO5 shutdown causing SD card timeout. The list also includes fixes for encoding DSB, proton-pack, BHB mitigation, processor subtable walk, and memory leaks.

Linus Torvalds has announced the sixth release candidate for Linux kernel 6.15, with a slightly higher number of commits than in rc5, but this is not a significant difference.
The release schedule still has two weeks left, and it seems to be on track. The changes include drivers, architecture fixes, filesystems, core networking, and other random stuff. The changes include enabling InterTouch on various devices, adjusting GPU and NPU clocks in nominal DTSI, fixing pm notifier handling, and improving responsiveness of fbnic_mbx_poll_tx_ready. The kernel also includes fixes for a more liberal vmin/vmax update for freesync, a more liberal call for FP Protect Before Mode Programming/Mode Support, and adjustments to interrupt-controllers for stm32mp25 SoCs and stm32mp21 SoCs.

Linus Torvalds has announced the release of the fifth release candidate for Linux kernel 6.15, emphasizing routine updates. The kernel is positioned within the typical statistics for the release candidate 5 timeframe, featuring several drivers that have undergone multiple lines of modifications. The diffstat appears to be predominantly even, with the majority of changes consisting of minor one- and few-line modifications.
This release features significant updates, particularly in the area of self-tests, which account for approximately 20% of the overall changes. The modifications primarily involve drivers and have a significant emphasis on networking. However, changes related to the GPU are minimal this time. The remaining modifications encompass a combination of networking enhancements and various minor adjustments, including architecture improvements, tracing updates, and several core refinements.
