The 6.16 kernel is out
Monday July 28, 2025. 05:42 AM , from LWN.net
Linus has released the 6.16 kernel:
It's Sunday afternoon, and the release cycle has come to an end. Last week was nice and calm, and there were no big show-stopper surprises to keep us from the regular schedule, so I've tagged and pushed out 6.16 as planned. Headline changes in this release include enabling five-level page tables by default on x86 systems, a number of core-dump changes including the ability to send core dumps to a socket, the ability to create pipes in io_uring, atomic-write support in the XFS filesystem, the elimination of block-layer bounce buffering, a new DMA-mapping API, an option to block file descriptors passed in via Unix-domain sockets, and more. See the LWN merge-window summaries (part 1, part 2) and the KernelNewbies 6.16 page for more information.
