""We recently ran across a strange higgs-bugson that manifested itself in a critical system […] A higgs-bugson is a bug that is reported in practice but difficult to reproduce, […]

The Linux kernel does not actually implement this cache as suggested by the RFC, so I wrote a kernel patch to add this functionality and mailed it off upstream. I also learned that the FreeBSD kernel actually already implements this, so this is new-to-Linux but not new-to-NFS.

Both of these patches are now upstream and will be available in Linux 6.16.""

Streit um Bcachefs: Linus Torvalds zieht Konsequenzen https://fosstopia.de/linuxkernel-bcachefs/ #Bcachefs #Linux #LinuxKernel #LinuxKernel6.17

Linux 6.16 RC4 released!

Linux 6.16 RC4 is now live for developers and curious users to try out. All the interesting changes from performance improvements to bug fixes have been integrated to this release candidate.

In the release announcement for this version of the kernel, Linus Torvalds said:

Despite a fairly large merge window, things continue to look fairly calm on the rc front.

So rc4 is about one third filesystem updates (mostly bcachefs, but some smb and btrfs too), one third drivers (all over, really, but device mapper stands out mostly due to a couple of reverts due to performance issues), and one third "miscellaneous". That last third is pretty random: doc updates, arch fixes (loongarch, um, x86), selftests, and just various random fixes all over.

Anyway, please do keep testing.

Why not try out this awesome pre-release of Linux 6.16?
