Linux 7.2 adds cache-aware scheduling for shared-data workloads

The release sets guardrails to limit cache-domain overload and targets multithreaded servers, AI and machine-learning workloads, and some games. It also adds filesystem, I/O, driver and networking changes; the article says users should wait for their distributions' packages and validation, particularly on production systems.
