Linux 6.9-rc3 Released With Many Bcachefs Patches


Linux 6.9-rc3 is released and most notable are the Bcachefs fixes to which Torvalds quipped, 'if you had a corrupted bcachefs filesystem you'd probably want this, and if you thought bcachefs was stable already, I have a bridge to sell you

"Ok, so this rc3 looks a bit different than the usual ones, because there's a large series to bcachefs to do filesystem repair after corruption. So the rest is mostly drivers (already mentioned sound, but also networking and gpu), architecture fixes (mainly x86 and s390, some arm64), some other filesystem noise (mainly smb client), some selftest updates, and a random smattering elsewhere. Michael is also the lead developer of the Phoronix Test Suite, Phoromatic, and OpenBenchmarking.org automated benchmarking software.
