The 6.2 kernel has been released
Monday February 20, 2023. 12:37 AM , from LWN.net
Linus has released the 6.2 kernel as
expected. Please do give 6.2 a testing. Maybe it's not a sexy LTS release like 6.1 ended up being, but all those regular pedestrian kernels want some test love too. Headline features in this release include the ability to manage linked lists and other data structures in BPF programs, more additions to the kernel's Rust infrastructure, improvements in Btrfs RAID5/6 reliability, IPv6 protective load balancing, faster 'Retbleed' mitigation with return stack buffer stuffing, control-flow integrity improvements with FineIBT, oops limits, and more. See the LWN merge-window summaries (part 1, part 2) and the KernelNewbies 6.2 page for more information.
