Linus Torvalds has announced the sixth release candidate for Linux kernel 5.18 for testing.

Linux kernel 5.18-rc6 released

So 5.18 is looking like it's going to be one of the larger releases in numbers of commits (we'll see where it ends up - it's going to be neck-and-neck with 5.14 right now, but won't be as big as 5.13 was). But despite the merge window being big, the release candidates have generally been quite modest in size, and rc6 continues that trend. I keep expecting the other shoe to drop, but 5.18 just seems to be quite well-behaved.

Let's see if this jinxes it, but nothing looks particularly scary here. rc6 looks to be mostly some driver updates (network drivers and rdma stand out, small random fixes elsewhere), with the usual smattering of architecture updates (x86 kvm fixes, but also a long-standing x86 kernel FP use issue, and a smattering of parisc and powerpc fixes). And some wireguard selftest updates.

The rest is mostly some btrfs fixes, some core networking, and just random small one-offs elsewhere.

Please do go test it all out - because things may look good now, but continued testing is the only thing that will make sure.

Thanks,
Linus
