I see the problem! In Korea, it's considered inappropriate to sign using red ink.

"It is a common Korean superstition that if someone’s name is written in red, then death or bad luck will come to that person very soon."

Should have been blue or black :'(

Someone asked me to sign their gpg key so I did. Am I doing this gpg thing right?

EU traffic to lore.kernel.org is now served by two OVH-hosted nodes, one in Strasbourg, another in Warsaw.

Huge thanks to OVH for their support!

slab: support for compiler-assisted type-based slab cache partitioning

@melver posted a kernel patch that provides an alternative mode to RANDOM_KMALLOC_CACHES called TYPED_KMALLOC_CACHES.

The new mode leverages a Clang 22 feature called "allocation tokens". Unlike RANDOM_KMALLOC_CACHES, this mode deterministically assigns caches to allocations based on their types, and not allocation sites.

@ljs in your case, you start the day, thinking "okay finally I have some time to work on my project, I reviewed all the churns!", then a few ppl send series of 10+ patches and start looking at them & decide to like or refuse them & say something, and repeat this tmrw...

I wake up and start the day, thinking "okay, this feature is now ready. I'm just doing the last review & test now before submitting it", then find a new bug, fix it, review others code, investigate another issue, then repeat this tomorrow...

7.0 is out:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=wj2WqpPBwpAXo8bj_Hx-NxKMRVTVMUaQis7+Vm6XLRZiw@mail.gmail.com/

For a list of new features, see:
* the LWN brief news entry – https://lwn.net/Articles/1067279/ (Screenshotted below)

* the LWN merge-window summaries – https://lwn.net/Articles/1057769/ and https://lwn.net/Articles/1058664/

* the KernelNewbies 7.0 page – https://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_7.0

And reminder: the jump from 6.19 to 7.0 does not mean anything apart from "Linus ran out of fingers and toes to count on."
