Linux 6.11 released
Linux 6.11 released
Linus has released the 6.11 kernel. ""I'm once again on the road and not in my normal timezone, but it's Sunday afternoon here in Vienna, and 6.11 is out."" Significant changes in this release include new io_uring operations for bind() and listen(), the nested bottom-half locking patches, the ability to write to busy executable files, support for writing block drivers in Rust, support for atomic write operations in the block layer, the dedicated bucket slab allocator, the vDSO implementation of getrandom(), and more. See the LWN merge-window summaries (part 1, part 2) for more information.
excellent
Did this release see
sched_extmerged? Was looking forward to messing around with that.Nope, but it might come with 6.12
nope missed the boat back in July/Aug apparently
Upgrading as soon as BORE patches come out of testing
amber is the color of its energy!
Anyone else having the problem with the new kernel that graphics in games/benchmarks is quite a lot slower (about 15-20%) then with older kernel (I used 6.10.7 before I upgraded). This is with Powercolor Hellhound AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE? Even Einstein@Home GPU tasks take about 20% longer now (28 min with previous kernel to about 34 min now).
any updates for wifi 7 drivers?
I wonder if more Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite-related code was merged.
The answer seems to be yes but I have not seen much detail on what works now and what does not. It also seems that device trees are required for each device and I have only seen that for one ASUS and one Lenevo so far.
If anybody knows more, I would love an update.
