Post Syndicated from corbet original https://lwn.net/Articles/990307/

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.
