Kernel release status
The current development kernel is 3.12-rc1, released on September 16. Linus said:
"I personally particularly like the scalability improvements that got
merged this time around. The tty layer locking got cleaned up and in the
process a lot of locking became per-tty, which actually shows up on some
(admittedly odd) loads. And the dentry refcount scalability work means that
the filename caches now scale very well indeed, even for the case where you
look up the same directory or file (which could historically result in
contention on the per-dentry d_lock)."
Stable updates: 3.0.96, 3.4.62, 3.10.12, and 3.11.1 were all released on September 14. (Log in to post comments)
