NVMe FDP Block Write Streams, IO_uring DMA-BUF Zero Copy Receive Land In Linux 6.16


Merged last week for the Linux 6.16 kernel coming later this summer were the many block subsystem updates as well as the IO_uring feature updates.

Jens Axboe sent in all of the big feature updates slated for Linux 6.16 around the block and IO_uring bits. - Linux's NVMe code added per-node DMA pools and is relying on them for PRP/SGL allocations. The IO_uring code also adds DMA-BUF support to zero-copy receive, improved support for overflow CQE handling, and other improvements.
