Linux 6.4-rc6 (UPDATED)

Posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 12, 2023,

It's Sunday afternoon, and we all know what that means.

I don't think we've had anything hugely interesting happen the last

week, and the whole 6.4 release really does feel like it's going

fairly smoothly. Knock wood, famous last words, you know the drill.

The diffstat and the commit logs all looks fairly normal. We've got

perhaps a bit more filesystem changes than usual, mostly due to some

xfs fixes. But even that looks larger than it is - it's mostly due to

code movement, not because of any fundamentally big changes per se.

There's some architecture fixes too, but most of that is just arm64 dts files.

And the bulk of things is driver updates, with gpu and networking

being most noticeable. As is tradition. We have some other networking

changes outside of drivers too.

For people interested in the nitty-gritty details, the shortlog is

appended, but nothing there looks all that interesting. Which is

obviously just how I like it. The interesting stuff should happen

during the merge window, and the later release candidates should be as

boring as possible.
