Linux Kernel 5.18-rc6 Released with Driver Updates, Bug Fixes, and Performance Improvements

Linux kernel 5.18-rc6 has been released as the weekly candidate, bringing driver updates, bug fixes, and performance tuning.

Linus Torvalds noted that the changes mainly involve driver updates (network drivers and RDMA stand out), some small random fixes, a few architecture updates (x86 KVM fixes addressing a long‑standing FP usage issue, plus some PARISC and PowerPC fixes), wireguard self‑test updates, Btrfs fixes, core network improvements, and assorted one‑off issues.

主要是一些驱动程序更新(网络驱动程序和rdma 脱颖而出,其他则是一些小的随机修复),一些少量架构更新(x86 kvm 修复,包含长期存在的 x86 内核 FP 使用问题,以及一些 parisc 和powerpc 修复)。 还有一些wireguard 自检更新,其余的主要是一些 btrfs 修复,一些核心网络,以及其他地方的随机一次性问题。

The stable Linux 5.18 release is expected within the next two to three weeks.
