LWN merge window [http://lwn.net/Articles/640297/ part 1], [http://lwn.net/Articles/641016/ part 2], [http://lwn.net/Articles/642039/ part 3]
1. Prominent features
1.1. Ext4 encryption support
Linux already has support for data encryption facilities such as dm-crypt or ecryptfs, but they have performance and memory consumption costs. The Ext4 filesystem now supports encryption support: both data and file names can be encrypted with a key provided by the user. The key is used for the files of a directory and all the subdirectories. When reading, if a valid key is not provided, only the encrypted file names can be read, but not the decrypted ones, and the encrypted data can not be read.
To use this feature, you need e2fsprogs version 1.43, the keyutils software. A small howto can be found [http://askubuntu.com/questions/643577/how-to-create-ext4-encrypted-partition-on-ubuntu-15-04-with-new-4-1-kernel here].
For details about the internal design of this feature, see [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ft26lUQyuSpiu6VleP70_npaWdRfXFoNnB8JYnykNTg here]

Code: [https://git.kernel.org/linus/6162e4b0bedeb3dac2ba0a5e1b1f56db107d97ec (merge)]
1.2. Experimental cluster support for MD
This release adds clustering support for [http://linux.die.net/man/4/md MD] (Linux software RAID). Cluster MD is a shared-device RAID for a cluster. It enables locking and synchronization across multiple systems on the cluster, so all nodes in the cluster can access the MD devices simultaneously, bringing the redundancy (and uptime) of RAID levels across the nodes of the cluster. Currently, the implementation is limited to RAID1 but with further work (and some positive feedback), it could be extend to other RAID levels. The code in this version is is high experimental and not recommended to use except for experimentation.
