Linux 6.15 release

The release of the new version of the Linux kernel took place on May 25 this year and was on schedule. The release of the next version 6.16 is previously scheduled for the end of July this year. The Linux 6.15 code can be downloaded from kernel.org.

The release of version 6.15 was delayed for a few hours due to a bug that was discovered, which caused a certain feature to be disabled. But overall, the release of the new version went pretty smoothly and stably.
