Kernel prepatch 6.12-rc1 Linus has https://lwn.net/Articles/992184/ and closed the merge window for this release. Despite conference travel (both for me and several maintainers), things seemed to go mostly fairly normally. There's a couple of notable new features in here: For one thing, PREEMPT_RT is now mainlined and enabled as a config option (you do need to enable "EXPERT" to get the question). For another, sched_ext also got merged. https://lwn.net/Articles/992185/
