  ARM Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life (Terry Pratchett, Jingo)

The 5.10 kernel has been released

([Kernel] Dec 14, 2020 0:08 UTC (Mon) (corbet))


Linus has [1]released the 5.10 kernel. " I pretty much always wish that the last week was even calmer than it was, and that's true here too. There's a fair amount of fixes in here, including a few last-minute reverts for things that didn't get fixed, but nothing makes me go 'we need another week'. Things look fairly normal. "

Significant changes in this release include [2]support for the Arm memory tagging extension, [3]restricted rings for io_uring, [4]sleepable BPF programs , the [5]process_madvise() system call , ext4 "fast commits", and more. See the LWN merge-window summaries ( [6]part 1 , [7]part 2 ) and the [8]KernelNewbies 5.10 page for more details.

Just got into some trouble with UAS (perhaps ?) on last RC :| Can't see anything related to that on the list...
