As we approach the stable Linux 6.16 kernel release later this month, Linux 6.16-rc6 is out today as the newest weekly test candidate.

Linux 6.16-rc6 also brings some Bcachefs fixes, including for some high severity regressions. "So I had a little scare this week, noticing some odd instability on Thursday, and basically then lost a day to trying to figure that whole thing out. But I did eventually figure out how to trigger it reliably and then it bisected nicely, and a couple of days have passed, and I'm feeling much better about the release again.
