Upgrade : Kernel 4.10.5 – stable on Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety / Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial


Linux kernel is the essential part of any Linux operating system. It is responsible for resource allocation, low-level hardware interfaces, security, simple communications, basic file system management, and more. Written from scratch by Linus Torvalds (with help from various developers), Linux is a clone of the UNIX operating system. It is geared towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliances.


Linux kernel 4.10.5 is not a major update, but it’s not a small one either. According to the appended shortlog, a total of 69 files were changed in this release, with 587 insertions and 268 deletions. Most of these changes are various networking improvements, both for the driver stack and core networking. There’s also better support for Intel chipsets and a few hardware architectures were improved as well.

“I’m announcing the release of the 4.10.5 kernel. All users of the 4.10 kernel series must upgrade. The updated 4.10.y git tree can be found at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-4.10.y and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=summary,” said Greg Kroah-Hartman.

Includes powerful features

Linux provides users with powerful features, such as true multitasking, multistack networking, shared copy-on-write executables, shared libraries, demand loading, virtual memory, and proper memory management.

Initially designed only for 386/486-based computers, now Linux supports a wide range of architectures, including 64-bit (IA64, AMD64), ARM, ARM64, DEC Alpha, MIPS, SUN Sparc, PowerPC, as well as Amiga and Atari machines.

“All users need to update their systems to Linux 4.10.5 immediately”

Looking at the things that received attention in Linux kernel 4.10.5, we can notice an updated networking stack with various improvements to Bridge, DCCP (Datagram Congestion Control Protocol), IPv4, IPv6, L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol), MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching), Open vSwitch, packet scheduler, SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol), and STRParser.

The networking improvements continue with updated Ethernet drivers for AMD 10GbE (amd-xgbe), Mellanox, as well as the use of ETH_MAX_MTU as max mtu for bonding. The Intel i915 driver also got some attention, and Linux kernel 4.10.5 adds better support for the x86, ARM64 (AArch64), and PowerPC (PPC) hardware architectures. If you’re using a GNU/Linux distribution powered by the Linux 4.10 kernel, we recommend updating to version 4.10.5 as soon as possible.

Written from scratch by Linus Torvalds (with help from various developers), Linux is a clone of the UNIX operating system. It is geared towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliances.

Includes powerful features

Linux provides users with powerful features, such as true multitasking, multistack networking, shared copy-on-write executables, shared libraries, demand loading, virtual memory, and proper memory management.

Initially designed only for 386/486-based computers, now Linux supports a wide range of architectures, including 64-bit (IA64, AMD64), ARM, ARM64, DEC Alpha, MIPS, SUN Sparc, PowerPC, as well as Amiga and Atari machines.
