The 6.15 kernel has been released

Linus has https://lwn.net/Articles/1022493/

the 6.15 kernel, as

expected.

So this was delayed by a couple of hours because of a last-minute

bug report resulting in one new feature being disabled at the

eleventh hour, but 6.15 is out there now.

Significant changes in 6.15 include https://lwn.net/Articles/1012490/

to make

checkpoint/restore operations more reliable, the https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=6092c5016005

to read status information from a pidfd after the process in question has

been reaped, the https://lwn.net/Articles/992991/

special pidfd value, nested

ID-mapped mounts, zero-copy network-data reception via io_uring, The ability

to read epoll events via io_uring, resilient

queued spinlocks for BPF programs, https://lwn.net/Articles/1011366/

allowing them to be

placed in file-backed memory areas and for user space to detect their

presence, the once-controversial fwctl

subsystem, the optional sealing of some

system mappings, and much more.

See the LWN merge-window summaries (https://lwn.net/Articles/1015414/

for

more information.
