Linux Kernel 4.11 RC1 has been released. Install and update the Linux Kernel 4.11 RC1 on Ubuntu Systems. Announcing the release, Linus wrote:
“So two weeks have passed, the merge window is over, and 4.11-rc1 has been tagged and pushed out. This looks like a fairly regular release. It’s on the smallish side, but mainly just compared to 4.9 and 4.10 – so it’s not really _unusually_ small (in recent kernels, 4.1, 4.3, 4.5, 4.7 and now 4.11 all had about the same number of commits in the merge window).
It _does_ feel like there was more stuff that I was asked to pull than was in linux-next. That always happens, but seems to have happened more now than usually. Comparing to the linux-next tree at the time of the 4.10 release, almost 18% of the non-merge commits were not in Linux-next. That seems higher than usual, although I guess Stephen Rothwell has actual numbers from past merges. Now, about a quarter of the patches that weren’t in linux-next do end up having the same patch ID as something that was, so some of it was due to just rebasing. But still – we have about 13% of the merge window that wasn’t in linux-next when 4.10 was released.”
