@kernellogger@fosstodon.orgIn case anyone wonders if the #Linux CVE team releases #LinuxKernel CVEs before the problem is fixed in stable and longterm series:
Yes, they sometimes do this when the fix hit the mainline #kernel; n…
@kernellogger@fosstodon.org#Linux in-#kernel APIs can change even within stable/longterm #LinuxKernel series -- and thus might breaks your out-of-tree module.
Greg just reminded people about that aspect here:

It really is philosophy against the Now, i…
@grumpybozo@toad.socialFinally, the resource utilization gains of cloud computing start to appear…

Even without a lot of serious old-timers who remember how batch-oriented workloads could reach quite satisfying utilization levels, we look at our 32-core machines running at 0.02 load average and know that it is wrong.
