The 4.4 kernel is out

Linus has, as expected, announced the release of the 4.4 kernel. Some of the headline features in this release include the mlock2() system call with support for deferred memory locking, I/O polling in the block layer, the LightNVM patches for low-level control of solid-state storage devices, the ability for unprivileged users to load BPF programs into the kernel, and much more.
