Oh no! 🙈 The invincible #Rust code has been dethroned by a pesky #CVE #vulnerability in the Linux Kernel. 🚨 Guess the "memory-safe" bragging rights were too good to be true! 😂

Wondering when it is the best[1] time to test the #kernel to prevent #LinuxKernel regressions from hitting #Arch Linux, #Fedora Linux, or #openSUSE #Tumbleweed?
It's now, as the first pre-release of #Linux 6.19 is out – which leaves plenty of time to find, report, debug, and fix any problems that those distros otherwise will encounter when they switch to 6.19.y in about eight to ten weeks. And testing is not even hard, as easy-to-install packages with pre-built mainline kernels exist for all three distros[2].
In case you want to play it a bit safer, delay testing by one week till -rc2 is out – bugs that lead to data loss introduced before -rc1 are extremely rare but will almost certainly have been found and fixed by then.
Anything up to 6.19-rc6 (five weeks from now) is still okayish, but less ideal.
The sixth -rc is your last good chance to test. Linus by then wants all regressions that have become known since the beginning of the 6.19 cycle fixed – but in case some were missed or not reported yet, there is still enough time to report, debug, and fix them before they reach those distros.
Testing any later is often too late: most bugs then can't be fixed anymore before those distros will switch to the 6.19.y series, which will happen within one or two weeks (in the case of Arch and Tumbleweed) or three to four (Fedora) after 6.19 is released.

Linux 6.19 RC1 released!
Linux 6.19 RC1 is now live for developers and curious users to try out. All the interesting changes from performance improvements to bug fixes have been integrated to this release candidate.
The official announcement from the kernel mailing list says:
So it's Sunday afternoon in the part of the world where I am now, so if somebody was looking at trying to limbo under the merge window timing with one last pull request and is taken by surprise by the slightly unusual timing of the rc1 release, that failed.
Teaching moment, or random capricious acts? You be the judge.
Anyway, this merge window was slightly unusual in how we had a number of kernel maintainers on the road the last week due to the yearly maintainer summit, but also in how some of the core pull requests were about various conversions to expand on and use more of our automatic compiler cleanup infrastructure. That happened in several subsystems, but the VFS layer stands out.
And on the Rust front, we are now starting to see several actual drivers starting to take form. The "mainly preparation and infrastructure" phase is starting to become "actual driver and subsystems development".
That said, despite a few unusual patterns, the big picture really looks pretty normal: half the rc1 patch is driver updates (gpu, networking, media and sound stand out as big subsystems as usual, but there's pretty much everything in there). The rest is all over the map, with architecture updates, tooling, Rust support, tooling, documentation, and core kernel (mm, scheduler, networking) updates.
Why not try out this awesome pre-release of Linux 6.19?
