Linux 5.1-rc2
Well, we're a week away from the merge window close, and here's rc2.
Things look fairly normal, but honestly, rc2 is usually too early to
tell. People haven't necessarily had time to notice problems yet.
Which is just another way of saying "please test harder".Nothing particularly stands out. Yes, we had some fixes for the new
io_ring code for issues that were discussed when merging it. Other
than that, worth noting is that the bulk of the patches are for
tooling, not the core kernel. In fact, about two thirds of the patch
is just for the tools/ subdirectory, most of it due to some late perf
tool updates. The people involved promise they're done. -
Linux 5.1-rc2 Kernel Released
Linus Torvalds has announced the second weekly release candidate for Linux 5.1.
Linux 5.1-rc2 is looking "fairly normal" but then again with being the trailing week after a busy merge window, it's difficult to tell how the rest of the cycle will pan out.
Linus noted in the 5.1-rc2 announcement that nothing particular stands out but there are fixes to the io_uring code and other improvements merged over the past week.

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. |
