The Linux 6.19 kernel remains on track for its official release two weeks from today, with the extra RC being baked in due to the end of year holidays. Out today is Linux 6.19-rc7 with a few changes worth highlighting for the week.

With Linux 6.19-rc7 there is the newly-merged continuity planning for the Linux kernel development should Linus Torvalds’ official upstream Git kernel repository ever become inaccessible or other unforeseen circumstances arise. An important fix/revert for the week is an AMDGPU revert to address various issues that have been reported on Linux 6.19 going back to its merge window.
