Linux 4.13 [https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/9/3/155 has been released] on Sun, 3 Sep 2017.

Summary: This release adds support in Ext4 for very large number of directory entries, support in Ext4 for extended attributes up to 64k, improvements in asynchronous I/O, improved error handling in background writes, improved error handling in the block layer, kernel TLS acceleration, and many other improvements.

1. Prominent features

1.1. Asynchronous I/O improvements

The asynchronous I/O implementation in Linux has some deficiencies, one of them is that it unexpectedly blocks in some situations. This release adds a way for asynchronous I/O to return errors instead of blocking.

1.2. Ext4 support for a larger number of directory entries

This release adds "largedir", which allows ext4 directories to support over 2 billion directory entries (assuming ~64 byte file names; in practice, users will run into practical performance limits first). This feature adds a "incompatible feature" flag.

Code: [https://git.kernel.org/linus/e08ac99fa2a25626f573cfa377ef3ddedf2cfe8f commit]

1.3. Ext4 support for bigger extended attribute values

This release adds support for extended attribute values up to 64k. It also implements a deduplication feature so that if multiple files have the same xattr value (for example, Windows ACL's stored by Samba), only one copy will be stored on disk for encoding and caching efficiency. This feature adds a "incompatible feature" flag.

1.4. Kernel TLS acceleration

As a way to microoptimize TLS traffic, Facebook created an in-kernel TLS acceleration that slightly accelerates the performance of protocols such as https. Only symmetric crypto is done in the kernel, keys are passed by userspace after the handshake is complete.

1.5. Improved block layer and background writes error handling

Error handling in some parts of the Linux I/O stack is not good as it could be. For example, when the background write process fails, only the first task to call fsync will see the error and any subsequent task calling fsync on a file will get back 0 (unless another writeback error occurs in the interim). This release adds a new way to handle the errors during background writes, making possible to reliable report errors on fsync. This release also adds an improved error handling in the block layer so that upper parts of the storage stack may get a more detailed view of I/O problems and react accordingly.

1.6. CIFS defaults to SMB3.0

Due to recent publicity about security vulnerabilities in the much older CIFS dialect, move the default dialect to the widely accepted (and quite secure) SMB3.0 dialect from the old default of the CIFS dialect. Both Microsoft and CERT now strongly recommend not using the older CIFS dialect (SMB Security Best Practices "recommends disabling SMBv1"). SMB3 is both secure and widely available: in Windows 8 and later, Samba and Macs. Users can still choose to explicitly mount with the less secure dialect (for old servers) by choosing "vers=1.0" on the cifs mount

  • Make debug cgroup support v2 and thread mode [https://git.kernel.org/linus/575313f40ff33d0c2aff2701dfb2ccfcd6211d55 commit]

  • Make debug an implicit controller on cgroup2 which is enabled by "cgroup_debug" boot param [https://git.kernel.org/linus/8cc38fa7fa317d44710f24475576b1f9ee205da9 commit]

  • Implement nsdelegate mount option which makes cgroup namespaces delegation boundaries. If set, cgroup behaves as if write permission based delegation took place at namespace boundaries - writes to the resource control knobs from the namespace root are denied and migration crossing the namespace boundary aren't allowed from inside the namespace [https://git.kernel.org/linus/5136f6365ce3eace5a926e10f16ed2a233db5ba9 commit]

• locking: Add CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL to enable the full refcount_t implementation which has the validation but is slightly slower. When not enabled, efcount_t uses the basic unchecked atomic_t routines, which results in no code changes compared to just using atomic_t directly [https://git.kernel.org/linus/fd25d19f6b8da315332bb75936605fb45d3ea981 commit]

• RCU locking

  • Remove Classic SRCU. Classic SRCU was only ever intended to be a fallback in case of issues with Tree/Tiny SRCU, and the latter two are doing quite well in testing [https://git.kernel.org/linus/bd8cc5a062f41e334596edbe823e2fa0adddd1b7 commit]
