It can be used with damo user-space tool to check your program’s memory behavior. ![]() It can tell you which parts of the memory of a process are being accessed all the time, and which ones are not being used. DAMON (Data Access MONitor) is a lightweight mechanism to monitor the memory access pattern of specific user-space processes.It’s NOT meant to fully replace Samba which has a more extensive set of features and tools. ksmbd in-kernel SMB 3 server that should deliver optimized performance and better lease handling (distributed caching).The current implementation supports NTFS file system versions up to 3.1, normal/compressed/sparse files, and journal replaying, with more features coming in the future. New NTFS file system implementation distributed by Paragon Software with read/write support, that removes the need to use the userspace ntfs-3g implementation for write support.Some of the notable changes for Linux 5.15 include: Linux 5.15 will be an LTS kernel getting long-term support for at least 2 years, and possibly more, if companies extensively use the new kernel and request a longer support period up to 6 years like for Linux 5.10 or Linux 5.4 for instance. Released around two months ago, Linux 5.14 added support for Raspberry Pi 400 keyboard computer, merged the core scheduling functionality, removed the old IDE block drivers, improved support for Intel Alder Lake processors, and more. Let’s hope for more of the same – without Werror issues this time – for the upcoming merge window. This release may have started out with some -Werror pain, but it calmed down fairly quickly and on the whole 5.15 was fair small and calm. Sometimes the release timing works out, and sometimes it doesn’t.Īnyway, the last week of 5.15 was mainly networking and gpu fixes, with some random sprinkling of other things (a few btrfs reverts, some kvm updates, minor other fixes here and there – a few architecture fixes, couple of tracing, small driver fixes etc). ![]() But it’s only a couple of days and I’ll have my laptop with me. Which is going to be a bit inconvenient for me, since I also have some conference travel coming up. It’s been calm, and I have no excuse to add an extra rc, so here we are, with v5.15 pushed out, and the merge window starting tomorrow.
