Oracle Rolls Out UEK-Next Kernel Based On Linux 6.9

([Oracle] 3 Hours Ago UEK-Next With Linux 6.9)


Oracle today published their newest release of UEK-Next, their forward-looking version of the " [1]Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel " targeting Oracle Linux users.

In addition to being based off the Linux 6.9 upstream, UEK-Next continues to carry select out-of-tree patches like the "sched_ext" pluggable scheduling framework. [2]Sched_ext should be upstreamed in Linux 6.11 while for the v6.9 UEK-derived kernel the patches are being carried by Oracle.

Oracle is also already talking up their UEK-Next that will soon shift to the Linux 6.10 upstream and contain XFS online file-system repair functionality.

More details on the UEK-Next release re-based to Linux 6.9 can be found via the [3]Oracle Linux blog .

One day it was announced that the young monk Kyogen had reached
an enlightened state. Much impressed by this news, several of his peers
went to speak with him.
"We have heard that you are enlightened. Is this true?" his fellow
students inquired.
"It is", Kyogen answered.
"Tell us", said a friend, "how do you feel?"
"As miserable as ever", replied the enlightened Kyogen.
