Linux 6.16 Is Exciting For Open-Source NVIDIA, OpenVPN DCO & More Performance


The Linux 6.16 kernel is expected to be released as stable this coming Sunday, 27 July, barring any last minute issues that cause Linus Torvalds to have reservations over issuing v6.16 stable and to instead do a v6.16-rc8 test release

OpenVPN data channel offloading (DCO) to the kernel can deliver some very nice speed-ups. Intel also introduced Platform Thermal Control (PTC) interface, initial support for Intel QAT6 Gen6 for their next-generation QuickAssist accelerators, began upstreaming more Wildcat Lake platform code, and other new feature code this cycle. - AMDGPU user mode queues is an interesting addition for the AMD kernel graphics driver.
