Linus has released the 5.10 kernel.
“I pretty much always wish that the last week was even calmer than it
was, and that’s true here too. There’s a fair amount of fixes in here,
including a few last-minute reverts for things that didn’t get fixed,
but nothing makes me go ‘we need another week’. Things look fairly
normal.”

Significant changes in this release include
support for the Arm memory tagging
extension,
restricted rings for io_uring,
sleepable BPF programs,
the process_madvise()
system call,
ext4 “fast commits”,
and more. See the LWN merge-window summaries (part 1, part 2) and the KernelNewbies 5.10 page
for more details.
