Linux 7.0-rc2 Lands With A Jumbo Patch Set, Linus Calls It A Bit Big

The second weekly release candidate for Linux 7.0, 7.0-rc2, is out with an initial batch of fixes after rc1, including numerous AMD XDNA Ryzen AI accelerator driver updates and various graphics-driver tweaks. Linus Torvalds notes the patch set is large, with most changes not in drivers (filesystems, tests, core kernel, bpf, arch, and networking also contributing), and dropped an old Kconfig option to reduce log spam. The release aims for a mid-April stable target, with a Linux 7.0 feature overview available for details on upcoming capabilities.
