  1. Docker Engine v29.4.3 mitigates the critical Copy Fail (CVE-2026-31431) vulnerability. Update immediately if you cannot patch your Linux kernel yet.

  2. Linux Kernel 7.1 RC5 is released. Linux 7.1-rc5 is pretty big and much larger than traditional RC5 releases. Here's why.

    ""To the surprise of absolutely nobody by now, rc5 is pretty big. Quite a bit bigger than rc5's have traditionally been.

    I'm not entirely happy about it - most of this is totally trivial stuff to random drivers, which obviously makes it all less scary, but at the same time I'm really not convinced the churn is worth it at rc5 time. These things are "fixes", sure, but at the same time a lot of them are simply so irrelevant that I think they'd be better off in a linux-next tree and get merged during the merge window.

    So I think I'll start being a bit more hardnosed about this kind of unnecessary churn this late in the game. We are supposed to look for *regressions*. Non-critical fixes to long-standing issues are simply not appropriate for this late in the release cycle.

    End result: this is too big, and this is the heads-up that I'll be pushing back on pointless pull requests with fixes that just aren't that important. And yes, several of these series were triggered by AI code review.

    Because fixes or not - and trivial or not - these kinds of large rc weeks are *not* conducive to long-term stability. Trivial fixes may be trivial, and have a pretty low chance of causing problems, but "low chance" is still not "zero chance".

    So people: start looking closer at your pull requests, and ask yourself: "Is this really a regression or serious enough that it shouldn't just go into the development pile?".

  15. Linux 7.1 RC3 released!

    Linux 7.1 RC3 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:

    It's Sunday afternoon, and we all know what that means: Mother's Day.

    But also your regularly scheduled kernel release candidate.

    And I think this answers the "is 7.1 continuing the larger size pattern that we saw with 7.0?" question, and the answer is yes: that wasn't a fluke brought on by a .0 release - it simply seems to be the new normal.

    This time around, about a third of the patch is networking - both on the driver side and in core. And related selftests.

    The rest is pretty spread out, with other drivers (sound and gpu being the bigger ones, but there's a little bit of everything in there), architecture updates (powerpc and x86, but also some loongarch and parisc), and various other fixes (smb updates, various core kernel updates, Rust infrastructure, selinux, documentation etc).

    The shortlog below isn't exactly _short_, but not so long that you can't scroll through it to get some kind of idea of the details.

    Why not try out this awesome pre-release of Linux 7.1?

  22. Quick reminder in light of the recent #LinuxKernel vulnerabilities:

    In case you want to protect yourself against vulnerabilities in #Linux #Kernel modules you don't need, disable module loading completely by running:

    echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/modules_disabled

    Of course you want to load all modules you need before running that command, as otherwise you will have to reboot to load them. 😄
