Kernel prepatch 6.7-rc1

Monday November 13, 2023. 04:34 AM , from LWN.net
Linus Torvalds has released
6.7-rc1, thus closing the merge window
for this release. It is the largest merge window ever, but some of that
was due to the bcachefs history that came with merge of that filesystem.

But 6.7 is pretty
big in other ways too, with

12678 files changed, 838819 insertions(+), 280754 deletions(-)

which is also bigger than those historically big releases [4.9, 5.8 and
5.13]. And that's
not due to bcachefs, that's actually mainly due to ia64 removal and a
lot of GPU support (notably lots of AMD GPU header files again - lots
and lots of lines, but there's support for new nvidia cards too).
