F2FS Sees New Improvements Merged For Linux 6.17 While Bcachefs Languishes


Sent out today for the Linux 6.17 merge window and already merged hours later were the Flash-Friendly File-System (F2FS) feature updates.

F2FS for Linux 6.17 also adds new sysfs nodes to control F2FS GCs for ZUFS, improves performance on the NAT entry cache, drops inode from the donation list when the last file is closed, and avoids splitting the bio when reading multiple pages. Linus Torvalds merged or otherwise commented on all or nearly all of the other pull requests sent out last week. So long story short, no comment or action by Linus Torvalds on Bcachefs yet for the new kernel cycle.
