The 6.18 kernel has been released

Linus has released the 6.18 kernel, as expected.

So I'll have to admit that I'd have been happier with slightly less
bugfixing noise in this last week of the release, but while there's
a few more fixes than I would hope for, there was nothing that made
me feel like this needs more time to cook. So 6.18 is tagged and
pushed out.

Headline changes in this release include
the ability
to manage namespaces with file handles,
support for the AccECN
congestion-control protocol,
initial support for signing of BPF
programs,
improved memory management with sheaves,
the Rust binder driver,
better control over transparent huge
pages,
and a lot more.
This release also saw the removal
of the bcachefs filesystem.
