Linus Torvalds Announces the Third Release Candidate of the Linux 4.11 Kernel

That’s right, Linux kernel 4.11 Release Candidate 3 is now ready for public testing, and, according to Linus Torvalds, it appears to be a fairly normal patch that’s just a bit larger than last week’s Release Candidate because of a typo that affected the PowerPC (PPC) and ARM architectures. As for the changes, it appears that two thirds of the Linux kernel 4.11 RC3 release are updated drivers for things like qla2xxx, Ethernet Broadcom and Cavium, GPU, CPUFreq, MD, and others, with the rest being split between various improvements to the x86, PowerPC and PA-RISC architectures, updates to the XFS, NFS, and AFS filesystems, as well as general networking and core kernel fixes.
