Linus Torvalds has announced the third release candidate for Linux kernel 6.0.



Linux kernel 6.0-rc3 released

So as some people already noticed, last week was an anniversary week - 31 years since the original Linux development announcement. How time flies.

But this is not that kind of historic email - it's just the regular weekly RC release announcement, and things look pretty normal. We've got various fixes all over the tree, in all the usual places: drivers (networking, fbdev, drm), architectures (a bit of everythinig: x86, loongarch, arm64, parisc, s390 and RISC-V), filesystems (mostly btrfs and cifs, minor things elsewhere), and core kernel code (networking, vm, vfs and cgroup).

And some tooling support (perf and selftests).

We've got a few known issues brewing, but nothing that looks all that scary. Knock wood.

Please give it a go,

Linus
