The third 6.6 kernel prepatch is out for testing. Unusually, we have a large chunk of changes in filesystems. Part of it is the vfs-level revert of some of the timestamp handling that needs to soak a bit more, and part of it is some xfs fixes. With a few other filesystem...

All that Ankur Arora seemingly wanted to do with this patch set was to make the process of clearing huge pages on x86 systems go a little faster. What resulted was an extensive discussion on the difficulties of managing preemption correctly in the kernel. It may be that some ...
