One of the early pull requests for Linux 6.15 that I've been meaning to highlight are the VFS iomap updates sent in by Microsoft engineer Christian Brauner. The VFS iomap pull that landed back at the start of the merge window bring some interesting changes like allowing the file-system to submit the writeback bios and tracking completions on a per-bio basis rather than the entire I/O. Nice seeing this initial infrastructure work ready and hopefully the file-system support for large atomic writes won't be too far behind and make it into a future kernel release this year.
