Kernel 5.15 has been released, and brief details are here:   http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/2110.3/07730.html

As expected, this is OK with the latest NVIDIA (495.44) and VMware 6.2.0 – with the patchset from https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/tree/workstation-16.2.0

The kernel now includes fully-functional drivers for NTFS, as mentioned in a previous (pre-release) article:  https://rglinuxtech.com/?p=2951

My fstab entry for this (for user id 1000, and mountpoint /win10) is:

..........
UUID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX   /win10                  ntfs3   uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=0022  0 0
..........

– and everything seems to be working as it should..
