@krzk @kernellogger @geert I have something for this: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vegard/linux.git/about/

It's basically cross-referencing lore and git (and a bunch of other stuff like CVEs, stable, syzbot links, etc.) and adding the links as git notes (displayed after the changelog). There's obviously a delay between the data being available and it actually updating. I haven't been updating it very often but I would if there were actual users.

@jmorris @kicad awesome!

After missing the last one due to a sick kiddo, I'm excited the next PDX Linux Kernel Meetup is scheduled for Sept 18th!

Hope to see folks there!

""Things remain normal - both the diffstat and the commit counts look entirely sane. […]

The one discussion that I was part of that happened last week that might be worth mentioning is that I've been complaining for years about useless "Link:" entries in commit messages that don't point to any new information. […] if that link ends up being just a pointer to the email that became that commit - with nothing else - that allegedly helpful link only added human cost for me.

The same ends up being true when chasing down bug reports.

So please: don't add useless information to commits in general, but in _particular_ don't add "Link:" tags that only point back to the original submission email. […]

Make the links be something *useful*. Make them point to the report for the bug that was the cause of the commit. Make them point to the discussion that explains the impetus for the commit. […]

Make "Link:" tags be something to celebrate, not something to curse because they are worthless and waste peoples time.

Please?

The video of my presentation at OSSummit Europe is now available. 🇳🇱🐧

Those were 180 slides in 40 mins. 🫣😁 I hope people find it useful. Thanks! 🙂

All the Embedded Linux Conference Europe 2025 talks are now published!

@krzk the videos are published now!

And if anyone wants the slides:

(video recordings will appear a bit later)

So PSA we are now not allowed to add Link: tags anymore unless they add information that is not in the commit message. @axboe has the receipts.

It's ok apparently to add a link to the merge message of a Multi-Patch series.

Might want to start spreading that word...

Suggestion for the week-end: Open Source Summit Europe 2025 video binge watching.

The Linux Foundation has just released all the videos they took at the OSS EU 2025 conference in Amsterdam. They are so many of them that they are hard to count!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGDWXA32xG4&list=PLbzoR-pLrL6qKwLt8A787ggMLHNivOHve

So, now you can attend OSS EU 2025 and the Embedded Linux Conference Europe 2025 free of charge, or if you attended, you can watch the many interesting talks that you missed.

Thanks to Ross Burton for sharing the news!

Recording (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8Q8nIzEG6c ) and slides (https://static.sched.com/hosted_files/osseu2025/b3/pdx86-community-health-2025.pdf ) from Hans de Goede's #OSSEU25 talk "Creating a Healthy Vibrant [#Linux] #Kernel Subsystem Community" are now online.

From the abstract: "End 2020 I became the maintainer of the drivers/platform/x86 (pdx86) kernel subsytem. The subject of this talk is my experience in creating a friendly welcoming environment, growing the pdx86 community and how this helped me to avoid burnout by being able to delegate to community members."

Wild, it seems that a odd number of cores is a problem
https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/issues/1053#issuecomment-3228924222

It seems like for the past few weeks my phone (Pixel 8) consistently fails Anibus on lore. Anyone else having issues? No problem on my actual computer which is more important use case.

@jmorris @pdp7 unfortunately not, I'm already boarded to fly home. Hope the final day goes great!

Thanks to everyone for a great week of Linux in Amsterdam!

Hello AMS! Arrived just in time for the start of Embedded Linux Conf. "Why Won't My CPU Sleep? Debugging CPUIdle Mysteries on ARM SoCs" by @khilman of BayLibre and Dhruva Gole of TI:

Except speaking on Open Source Summit Europe (OSSE) 2025, I will also participate in Speaker Office Hours on Wednesday 10:30 AM: https://sched.co/27flt

Happy to answer some questions regarding first Linux kernel contributions, Embedded Linux Kernel, ARM64 laptops (yep, I am daily using Lenovo T14s with Qualcomm X1E SoC), Devicetree bindings / DTS or why your last patchset was not merged. :)

I once again ask you to please stop using gmail for mailing lists.

Attached is a screenshot of *just one* of the 4 nodes delivering various kernel mailing list traffic with a deferred queue of 100,000+ messages, all for gmail.

We are currently sitting on about 500,000 deferred messages, all for gmail. I am very, very close to just banning gmail addresses from large lists.

Looks like the risc-v community is learning from history! Hopefully this results in more upstream development efforts: https://riscv.org/blog/2025/07/risc-v-upstreaming/

There will be a Devicetree Microconference on Linux Plumbers in Tokyo, covering wide range of topics for Devicetree-based systems. The Call For Proposals is still open and you can submit your talk choosing "Devicetree MC" as the track. More details with examples of topics (not limited to these!): https://lpc.events/event/19/contributions/2008/
