Linux 2918 Published by

Linus Torvalds has announced the availability of the first release candidate for Linux kernel 6.10 for testing.



Linux kernel 6.10-rc1 released

Ok, the merge window is over, and 6.10-rc1 is tagged and pushed out.

This seems to be a regular-sized release, maybe even slightly on the smaller side. All the stats look fairly normal, but "normal" obviously means "much too big to post the shortlog", so below is - as always - just my "merge log" that gives an overview of who I've merged from with just the barest of descriptions.

We don't have any new filesystems, and the xfs online repair work means that the bcachefs fixes aren't even the biggest filesystem change any more. But all of that is dwarfed by all the usual driver updates (and, as is tradition, GPU drivers are in a massive lead, with networking a distant second and everything else is relatively small).

But we do have all the usual architecture updates, core cleanups and fixes, tooling and documentation updates.

Please - let the testing commence,

Linus
