hypnosec writes “Linus Torvalds has released Linux 3.12-rc1, marking the first major development in over two weeks for the forthcoming successor of the Linux 3.11 kernel. Announcing the closure of the 3.12 merge window, Torvalds noted in the release announcement that the window was fairly normal. Dissecting the updates, he noted that 73 percent of them are related to drivers, 12 percent related to architecture updates, and 6 percent related to file systems. … Torvalds notes that he liked ‘scalability improvements that got merged this time around.’ Torvalds also makes a note about the tty layer locking getting resolved, and work on dentry refcount scalability.”… hypnosec writes “Linus Torvalds has released Linux 3.12-rc1, marking the first major development in over two weeks for the forthcoming successor of the Linux 3.11 kernel.
