Kernel prepatch 5.8-rc7

([Kernel] Jul 27, 2020 13:24 UTC (Mon) (corbet))


The [1]5.8-rc7 kernel prepatch is out for testing; Linus is unsure about whether things are slowing down enough or not. " But it *might* mean that an rc8 is called for. It's not like rc7 is *big* big. We've had bigger rc7's. Both 5.3 and 5.5 had bigger rc7's, but only 5.3 ended up with an rc8. Put another way: it could still go either way. We'll see how this upcoming week goes. "
