Maintenance of the kernel is a difficult, often thankless, task; how it is being handled, the role of maintainers, burnout, and so on are recurring topics at kernel-related conferences. At the 2024 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit, Josef Bacik and ...

Gustavo A. R. Silva describes the path to safer flexible arrays in the kernel, thanks to the counted_by attribute supported by Clang 18 and GCC 15. There are a number of requirements to properly use the counted_by attribute. One crucial requirement is that the counter must...

SUSE has, in a somewhat clumsy fashion, asked openSUSE to consider rebranding to clear up confusion over the relationship between SUSE the company and openSUSE as a community project. That, in turn, has opened conversations about revising openSUSE governance and more. So...
Amir Goldstein led a filesystem-track session at the 2024 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit on his project to build a hierarchical storage management (HSM) system using fanotify. The idea is to monitor file access in order to determine when to...
Redox has received a grant to work on implementing POSIX-compatible signals. The draft design calls for them to be implemented nearly completely in user space. So far, the signals project has been going according to plan, and hopefully, POSIX support for signals will be...

On June 25, Matthew Wilcox posted a second version of a patch set introducing a new data structure called rosebush, which 'is a resizing, scalable, cache-aware, RCU optimised hash table.' The kernel already has generic hash tables, though, including rhashtable. Wilcox...
The 6.10 kernel was released on July 14 after a nine-week development cycle. This time around, 13,312 non-merge changesets were pulled into the mainline repository — the lowest changeset count since 5.17 in early 2022. Longstanding tradition says that it is time for LWN to...
Greg Kroah-Hartman has released the 6.6.40 and 6.1.99 stable kernels. Both contain a fix for the USB subsystem; anyone who uses those kernel series and 'the XHCI USB host controller driver (i.e. USB 3) must upgrade'.
Security updates have been issued by Fedora (cups, krb5, pgadmin4, python3.6, and yarnpkg), Mageia (freeradius, kernel, kmod-xtables-addons, kmod-virtualbox, and dwarves, kernel-linus, and squid), Red Hat (ghostscript, kernel, and less), SUSE (avahi, c-ares, cairo, cups,...
Linus has released the 6.10 kernel. So the final week was perhaps not quite as quiet as the preceding ones, which I don't love - but it also wasn't noisy enough to warrant an extra rc. Changes in 6.10 include the removal of support for some ancient Alpha CPUs,...

Linux Mint has released a beta of its next long-term-support (LTS) release, Linux Mint 22 (code-named 'Wilma'), based on Ubuntu 24.04. Aside from the standard software updates that come with any major upgrade, some of Wilma's largest selling points are what it doesn't have; n...

Since the disagreements that led to Eelco Dolstra stepping down from the NixOS Foundation board, there have been a number of projects forked from or inspired by Nix that have stepped up to compete with it. Two months on, some of these projects are now well-established...
