Kernel prepatch 6.5-rc1

[Posted July 9, 2023 by corbet]

Linus has released 6.5-rc1 and closed the merge window for this release.

Anyway, none of it looks hugely unusual. The biggest single mention probably goes to what wasn't merged, with the bcachefs pull request resulting in a long thread (we didn't hit a hundred emails yet, but it's not far away).

The curious can read that long thread in the list archives.

I clicked on a random email in the bcachefs merge thread.

"You do what you want, as per usual these threads just turn into an unproductive (and waste of time) shit show. Muted on my end from now on."

I haven't dipped into lkml for a while, but that doesn't really make me want to.

...I expected that sort of response at some point, this isn't the first time a conversation involving them on LKML has started with something similar to how this one began "Maybe if you had told someone about that it could get looked at?" being "I'm more likely to report bugs to people who have a history of being responsive..."

I learned about faddr2line from the thread, I've been using gdb for this all this time. wth

maybe not the right take home message, but it's the one I got.
