The 4.18 kernel is out

Linus has released the 4.18 kernel. "It was a very calm week, and arguably I could just have released on schedule last week, but we did have some minor updates." Some of the significant features in this release include unprivileged filesystem mounts, restartable sequences, a new zero-copy TCP receive API, support for active state management for power domains, the AF_XDP mechanism for high-performance networking, the core bpfilter packet filter implementation, and more. See the KernelNewbies 4.18 page for more details.
