NFS and VirtIO_net tests with the RC6 of kernel 6.19:



Please test the RC6.

Thanks

So tested the 6.19 RC6 on Mate and Debian. All looks good and performance is as expected. Surprisingly I've been on the ball with this kernel series.

Hello. So have been away at weekend but still managed some testing. Tested 6.12.66 on Xenial and all looks good. Then found and tested 6.19.0-rc7 on both Mate and Debian. That all looked as well and things are looking promising for a final 6.19.0 release on our platforms.
