The 6.6 kernel has been released
Monday October 30, 2023. 01:43 PM , from LWN.net
Linus has released the 6.6 kernel. 'So
this last week has been pretty calm, and I have absolutely no excuses to delay the v6.6 release any more, so here it is.' Headline features in 6.6 include the earliest eligible virtual deadline first (EEVDF) CPU scheduler, a number of enhancements (quota support, user extended attributes, direct I/O) to the tmpfs filesystem, the fchmodat2() system call, initial support for building a kernel without buffer-head support, the kmalloc() randomness patches, user-space shadow stacks for Intel CPUs, and quite a bit more. See the LWN merge window summaries (part 1, part 2) and the KernelNewbies 6.6 page for more information.
