- executesorder66 10y agoWhat I want to know is how this is completed, but the page for the 4.9 kernel is not done yet. I thought they normally waited for all the stable releases to be completed before finishing the page.
- ajdlinux 10y agoAt a guess, because KernelNewbies.org is maintained by volunteers who may have had their own reasons for why they didn't have time to finish the 4.9 page?

After the huge release that was 4.9 4.9 was "huge". I guess volunteers trying to cook up a quick summary may have given up on it :)
- wtallis 10y ago4.9 was expected to be a long-term support release, so there was strong motivation to complete and merge anything that was almost ready. The maintainers knew this would happen and threatened to hold off on making a new longterm release until 4.10 or later if 4.9 ended up too full of half-baked code, but it seems to have mostly worked out as just a large release that is now officially the most recent longterm branch.

- anoother 10y agoInteresting. I have a CPU with Intel Iris Pro graphics, which has 128MB of on-die eDRAM, which appears as L4 cache and which I assume can be used as both VRAM and cache. I wonder if this is useful to me in terms of allocating/using it for the latter?
- mrb 10y agoIntel CAT seems to be only for controlling L2/L3 use among CPU cores. Not L4.
