1.3. New BFQ I/O scheduler for a more reponsive desktop

BFQ (Budget Fair Queuing) is a new I/O scheduler. For personal systems, BFQ provides low latency for interactive applications, low latency for soft real-time applications, higher speed for code-development tasks, high throughput, and strong fairness, bandwidth and delay guarantees. For servers, besides the same benefits as above, BFQ guarantees: audio and video-streaming with zero or very low jitter and drop rate; fast retrieval of WEB pages and embedded objects; real-time recording of data in live-dumping applications (e.g., packet logging); responsiveness in local and remote access to a server. For more details and benchmarks, see the [https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/block/bfq-iosched.txt Documentation] or the [http://algo.ing.unimo.it/people/paolo/disk_sched/ project site]

1.4. New Kyber I/O scheduler

The Kyber I/O scheduler is a low-overhead scheduler suitable for multiqueue and other fast devices. Given target latencies for reads and synchronous writes, it will self-tune queue depths to achieve that goal, similary to blk-wbt.

1.5. Progress in Live kernel patching

Live patching is a feature [https://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_4.0#head-9aa7c8499b42911a48c02b24f367bf2bc6db8606 merged in Linux 4.0] that allows to patch the kernel code in running systems, which in turn allows to patch security issues without rebooting.

This release adds a so-called per-task consistency model - a foundation which will eventually enable to patch those ~10% of security patches which change function or data semantics. This is the biggest remaining piece needed to make livepatch more generally useful. This code stems from the [https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20141107140458.GA21774@suse.cz design proposal] made in November 2014. It's a hybrid of kGraft and kpatch: it uses kGraft's per-task consistency and syscall barrier switching combined with kpatch's stack trace switching.

1.6. Add support for Intel IMSM's Partial Parity Log

This release adds support for the Partial Parity Log feature found in Intel IMSM raid array. This feature is another way to close the RAID 5 Write Hole. PPL is available for md version-1 metadata and external (specifically IMSM) metadata arrays. It can be enabled using mdadm option --consistency-policy=ppl.

1.7. Expose OpenChannel SSDs as device blocks

This release introduces pblk, a host-side FTL for Open-Channel SSDs to expose them like block devices. Open-Channel SSDs are SSDs that do not include a Flash Translation Layer, support for them was included in [https://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_4.4#head-80dee68c457cfb97bfa62b68f68de022e9c3c912 Linux 4.4]. pblk is an implementation of a Flash Transaction Layer in the Linux kernel, which allows data placement decisions, and I/O scheduling to be managed by the host, enabling users to optimize the SSD for their specific workloads.

• Device Mapper (DM)

  • Add integrity target. It emulates a block device that has additional per-sector tags that can be used for storing integrity information. The dm-integrity target can be used with the dm-crypt target - in this situation the dm-crypt target creates the integrity data and passes them to the dm-integrity target. In this mode, the dm-crypt and dm-integrity targets provide authenticated disk encryption - if the attacker modifies the encrypted device, an I/O error is returned. The dm-integrity target can also be used as a standalone target, in this mode it calculates and verifies the integrity tag internally. In this mode, the dm-integrity target can be used to detect silent data corruption on the disk or in the I/O path [https://git.kernel.org/linus/7eada909bfd7ac90a4522e56aa3179d1fd68cd14 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/linus/c2bcb2b702e4684e566d295d687228498184e0c4 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/linus/9d609f85b7eb96697ae22ad1d47a3a3920174ba8 commit]

  • dm crypt: Add a new authenticated encryption feature to the DM crypt target that builds on the capabilities provided by the DM integrity target. It allows the use of per-sector metadata, provided by the dm-integrity module, for integrity protection and persistently stored per-sector Initialization Vector (IV) [https://git.kernel.org/linus/ef43aa38063a6b2b3c6618e28ab35794f4f1fe29 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/linus/33d2f09fcb357fd1861c4959d1d3505492bf91f8 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/linus/8f0009a225171cc1b76a6b443de5137b26e1374b commit]

  • A major update for DM cache that reduces the latency for deciding whether blocks should migrate to/from the cache. The bio-prison-v2 interface supports this improvement by enabling direct dispatch of work to workqueues rather than having to delay the actual work dispatch to the DM cache core. So the dm-cache policies are much more nimble by being able to drive IO as they see fit. One immediate benefit from the improved latency is a cache that should be much more adaptive to changing workloads [https://git.kernel.org/linus/c/742c8fdc31e820503f9267070311d894978d1349 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/linus/449b668ce0b9069fcaafa6344c7f10fa2ba9632e commit], [https://git.kernel.org/linus/cc7e394024770d4bfd8463fab1a9e2e262a7d7c1 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/linus/b29d4986d0da1a27cd35917cdb433672f5c95d7f commit]
