Along with Linux kernels 3.10.47 LTS, 3.4.97 LTS, and 3.14.11 LTS, Greg Kroah-Hartman had the pleasure of announcing last evening, July 6, that the fourth maintenance release of Linux 3.15 kernel is also available for download and upgrade.

Linux kernel 3.15.4 is a pretty big release and brings fixes and improvements for various architectures, including x86, PowerPC, and MIPS, several updated drivers (iSCSI, PCI, Watchdog, InfiniBand), multiple sound fixes, as well as filesystem patches, mostly for NFS (Network File System), but also for XFS, UBIFS, and ReiserFS.

As there are way too many technical changes to mention here (74 files changed, 601 insertions, and 560 deletions), we’ll list only the most important ones. For example, the kempld-wdt function of Watchdog now uses the right value when configuring the prescaler, missing paddings have been added at the struct mlx5_ib_create_cq for InfiniBand MLX5 driver, and the watchdog_device->timeout can be set from ->set_timeout().
