The kernel project merges dozens of drivers with every development cycle, and almost every one of those drivers is entirely uncontroversial. Occasionally, though, a driver submission raises wider questions, leading to lengthy discussion and, perhaps, opposition. That is currently the case with two separate drivers, both with ties to the networking subsystem. One of them is hung up on questions of whether (and how) all device functionality should be made available to user space, while the other has run into turbulence because it drives a device that is unobtainable outside of a single company.

Dirk Mueller has posted a lengthy analysis of the XZ backdoor on the openSUSE News site, with a focus on openSUSE's response.

Debian, as well as the other affected distributions like openSUSE are carrying a significant amount of downstream-only patches to essential open-source projects, like in this case OpenSSH. With hindsight, that should be another Heartbleed-level learning for the work of the distributions. These patches built the essential steps to embed the backdoor, and do not have the scrutiny that they likely would have received by the respective upstream maintainers. Whether you trust Linus Law or not, it was not even given a chance to chime in here. Upstream did not fail on the users, distributions failed on upstream and their users here.

Security updates have been issued by Debian (chromium), Fedora (rust, trafficserver, and upx), Mageia (postgresql-jdbc and x11-server, x11-server-xwayland, tigervnc), Red Hat (bind, bind9.16, gnutls, httpd:2.4, squid, unbound, and xorg-x11-server), SUSE (perl-Net-CIDR-Lite), and Ubuntu (apache2, maven-shared-utils, and nss).

The Earliest Virtual Deadline First (EEVDF) scheduler was merged as an option for the 6.6 kernel. It represents a major change to how CPU scheduling is done on Linux systems, but the EEVDF front has been relatively quiet since then. Now, though, scheduler developer Peter Zijlstra has returned from a long absence to post a patch series intended to finish the EEVDF work. Beyond some fixes, this work includes a significant behavioral change and a new feature intended to help latency-sensitive tasks.
