Kernel release status

The current development kernel is 6.13-rc2, released on December 8. Linus said:

The diffstat looks a bit unusual with 80%+ drivers, and a lot of it one-liners, but that's actually just because of a couple of automated scripts that got run after -rc1 for some cleanups. Nothing particularly interesting, but it makes for a lot of noise in the diff.

One of those scripts was the EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() change (to make it use a quoted string for the namespace name) described in this article.

Stable updates: 6.12.2, 6.11.11, and 4.19.325 were released on December 5. Note that both 6.11.11 and 4.19.325 are the last kernels in those series. Thereafter, 6.12.3 was released on December 6 to fix a boot regression. 6.12.4 and 6.6.64 came out on December 9, followed by 6.6.65 (which only contains a build-regression fix) on December 11.

6.6.65 fixes PVH regression

The PVH reverts in 6.6.65 actually fix an early boot crash for the PVH entry point. Found by Qubes OS using the Xen hypervisor.

Long regression window

The regression window for mediatek wifi/bt drivers preventing resume from hibernation is getting rather long (since 6.11) https://lore.kernel.org/regressions/20241206022919.183292-1-jglotzer@gmail.com/ and unfortunately seems to affect hardware that is meant to be open source friendly (e.g. the frame laptop).
