Linux Kernel Updates: 5.10.251, 5.15.201, 6.1.164, 6.6.127, 6.12.74, 6.18.13 Released with Fixes and Improvements
The Linux Kernel 6.18.13 brings several fixes that should prevent system crashes, including a patch for f2fs swapfile corruption, which was caused by a driver update or fuzzed image corrupting the node footer. The kernel also addresses issues with USB support for embedded modems, specifically adding Telit FN920C04 RNDIS support, and removes divide-by-zero bugs from Radeon-style drivers that could cause the kernel to crash during framebuffer setup. Additionally, GPIOLib has been updated to handle ACPI string references, eliminating lockdep warnings when probing devices such as the Unisoc chipset. These patches and others in the 5.10.251, 5.15.201, 6.1.164, 6.6.127, 6.12.74, and 6.18.13 patch sets make the kernel more robust and easier to debug.
