Description:
The 7.3-rc7 kernel prepatch is out for
testing. According to Linus: " As always, I would have preferred to see a smaller
rc, but it's not like anything in here looks like a reason to delay
the final release. So that's still set for next weekend unless
something new comes up. " One notable change that slipped into the mainline this week is the deprecation of the ext4 data=journal mode; it will be
removed entirely at the
beginning of 2028.
