Linux kernel 7.3 released
Linus Torvalds has released Linux kernel 7.3, with the maintainer noting a largely uneventful final week before the release. The release is described as a record-breaking one, with 18,765 non-merge commits from 3,021 developers, including 807 first-time contributors, and it adds updates such as binfmt_misc extensions, group-scheduling improvements, failfs, fchroot(), BPF per-CPU data, sched_ext completion, VM working-set tracking, ntfs3 alternate data-stream support, and SMB server improvements.
