Aptivi<p><strong>Linux 6.16 yields improved EXT4&nbsp;performance!</strong></p><p>As part of the changes that are done in Linux 6.16, there are some of the very interesting changes that are done to the EXT4 filesystem. Those changes yield improved performance, causing you to have a faster EXT4 filesystem compared to the recently released Linux 6.15.</p><p>Those changes have been made to improve the filesystem performance, which will be pushed to the v6.16 development branch from <a href="https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250527200206.GA2433735@mit.edu/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">this PR</a>, including:</p><ul><li>Fast commit performance improvements</li><li>Multi-fsblock atomic write support for bigalloc file systems</li><li>Large folio support for regular files</li></ul><p>The large folio support for regular files was, in itself, a factor of the improvements, along with all other changes, which yielded over 37% performance increase according to the kernel test robot that made <a href="https://lore.kernel.org/all/202505161418.ec0d753f-lkp@intel.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">this report you can see here</a>. According to the test robot, it has reported that it had noticed a 37.7% improvement on <code>fsmark.files_per_sec</code>.</p><p>The large folio support for regular files has been added with <a href="https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250512063319.3539411-9-yi.zhang@huaweicloud.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">this patch</a>, which checks for the following conditions in the <code>ext4_should_enable_large_folio()</code> function before enabling such support:</p><ul><li>If <code>i_mode</code> on an inode is a regular file using the <code><a href="https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/inode.7.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">S_ISREG()</a></code> macro</li><li>If either the data flags on the superblock or the inode flags has the journal data flags</li><li>If the superblock has no verity and has no encryption support</li></ul><p>Also, Linux 6.16 fixes some corruption bugs on an EXT4 file system caused by race conditions in the extent status tree.

Aptivi<p><strong>Linux 6.16 will see more btrfs&nbsp;improvements</strong></p><p>The btrfs filesystem in Linux 6.16 has undergone many improvements that make its performance faster than before. It has already been improved across Linux releases, but the upcoming version of Linux sees even more improvements to this filesystem. Any system that uses this filesystem can now benefit from those improvements.</p><p>The buffer conversion work underwent some throughput and runtime improvements for metadata heavy operations, backed by several commits in a pull request made to the 6.16 branch, such as “extent buffer conversion to xarray gains throughput and runtime improvements on metadata heavy operations doing writeback (sample test shows +50% throughput, -33% runtime).”</p><p>The tree cleanups have been improved to avoid repeated or unnecessary searches. This improves the I/O performance, should any operation rely on tree cleanups. As for committing transactions, the extent unpinning action has become more efficient than before, yielding a 3-5% performance improvement in runtime.</p><p>You can find more about this pull request by clicking on the below button:</p> <a class="" href="https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1747826882.git.dsterba@suse.com/T/#u" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Learn more</a> <p><a href="https://www.freepik.com/free-photo/happy-female-student-sitting-bench-using-laptop-outdoors_4530166.htm" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Cover image credit.</a></p><p><span></span></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/btrfs/" target="_blank">#Btrfs</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/filesystem/" target="_blank">#Filesystem</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/linux/" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/linux-kernel/" target="_blank">#LinuxKernel</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/news/" target="_blank">#news</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/tech/" target="_blank">#Tech</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/technology/" target="_blank">#Technology</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/update/" target="_blank">#update</a></p>
