EROFS Adds Zstd & Btrfs Gets Minor Performance Work In Linux 6.10
The EROFS and Btrfs file-systems saw their feature patches merged as part of the ongoing Linux 6.10 merge window.
The read-only EROFS file-system this cycle saw improvements to its LZ4 code to better operate on large servers with hundreds of CPU cores. But the main new feature this cycle is Zstandard (Zstd) being available as an alternative compression algorithm for this file-system that is commonly used by containers and embedded/mobile hardware. Btrfs also saw more folio conversion work, extent locking optimizations, improved error handling, and other changes for Linux 6.10.
