2:14a	Kernel prepatch 5.13-rc3 The third 5.13 kernel prepatch is out for testing. "It's been a very calm rc3 week, and at least in pure number of commits this is the smallest rc3 we've had in the 5.x series. Considering that the merge window was not in any way small, this is a bit surprising, but I suspect it's one of those 'not everybody sent in fixes this week' things that will rectify itself next week." This prepatch does include reverts and fixes for a long series of broken patches identified in the TAB report on the UMN mess. (Comment on this)

3:25p	[$] Multi-generational LRU: the next generation The multi-generational LRU patch set is a significant reworking of the kernel's memory-management subsystem that promises better performance for a number of workloads; it was covered here in April. Since then, two new versions of that work have been released by developer Yu Zhao, with version 3 being posted on May 20. Some significant changes have been made since the original post, so another look is in order. (Comment on this)
