The second 4.7 prepatch is now available
for testing. Linus says: “There’s a late non-fix I took even though
the merge window is over, because I’ve been wanting it for a while. I doubt
anybody notices the actual effects of a pty change/cleanup that means that
our old disgusting DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES kernel config option is gone,
because the cleanup means that it is no longer needed.” For details
on this change, see this article from last
week’s Kernel Page.
