One of the early features for Fedora 45 that was approved this week is enabling IPv6-mostly support within NetworkManager for a more modern out-of-the-box network experience...

NXP Neutron NPU Kernel Driver Blocked For Now By A Closed-Source User-Space Blob

Phoronix - Thu, 03/26/2026 - 18:19
Last month NXP posted open-source Linux kernel driver patches for their Neutron NPU accelerator. The NXP Neutron NPU aims to help with edge AI applications and this neural processing unit is found in their different SoCs. Unfortunately, their GitHub repository for the user-space software ends up containing a binary-only blob that will end up delaying plans on getting this driver into the mainline Linux kernel...

An Enticing Optimization For Linux Memory Reclaim On Today's Multi-Core Platforms

Phoronix - Thu, 03/26/2026 - 18:10
A new set of Linux kernel patches for batch TLB flushing for dirty folios within the kernel's vmscan path were recently floated on the Linux kernel mailing list. This batch TLB flushing optimization for dirty folios during memory reclaim can be a significant performance win with today's multi-core hardware...

ASUS Armoury & HP WMI Drivers Add More Laptops Ahead Of Linux 7.0-rc6

Phoronix - Thu, 03/26/2026 - 08:29
Merged today was another round of platform-drivers-x86 changes for the ongoing Linux 7.0 cycle. There are bug fixes plus some new hardware support additions that make this merge notable. Due to the new hardware support amounting to just device IDs and not risking existing hardware support, it's fine for merging at this late stage of Linux 7.0 development...

This release enables a shift in how operations and data science teams manage the lifecycle of their AI services, br

AI security: Defending against prompt injection and unsafe actions

Red Hat News - Thu, 03/26/2026 - 08:00
In previous articles, we framed AI security as protecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the whole AI system, not just the model. We also mapped AI risks onto familiar secure development lifecycle (SDLC) thinking, treating data and model artifacts as first-class build inputs and outputs.This article examines the primary security risk for enterprise large language model (LLM) applications: prompt injection. This vulnerability occurs when the model fails to distinguish between data and instructions, allowing external prompts to seize control of the system. The risk is particular
