Linux 4.17-rc7
So this week wasn't as calm as the previous weeks have been, but despite
that I suspect this is the last rc.
This week we had the whole "spectre v4" thing, and yes, the fallout from
that shows up as part of the patch and commit log. But it's not actually
dominant: the patch is pretty evenly one third arch updates, one third
networking updates, and one third "rest".
The arch updates are largely - although not exclusively - spectre v4.
The networking stuff is mostly network drivers, but there's some core
networking too.
And "the rest" is just that - misc drivers (rdma, gpu, other),
documentation, some vfs, vm, bpf, tooling..
The bulk of it is really pretty trivial one-liners, and nothing looks
particularly scary. Let's see how next week looks, but if nothing really
happens I suspect we can make do without an rc8.
Shortlog appended as usual. Go out and test.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe 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. |
