1. Prominent features
1.1. New API for file IO error reporting
Filesystems on Linux currently have no standard mechanism for reporting metadata corruption and file I/O errors to userspace via fsnotify. Each filesystem deals with the problem privately, and error reporting to fanotify is inconsistent or absent entirely.
This release introduces a generic fserror infrastructure that gives filesystems a standard way to queue metadata and file I/O error reports for delivery to fsnotify.
1.2. Support in XFS for a new health monitoring feature
This release adds new functionality to deliver live information about filesystem health events to userspace. This is done by creating an anonymous file that can be read() for events by userspace programs. Events like metadata health failures, file I/O errors, and major changes in filesystem state (unmounts, shutdowns, etc.) can be observed by programs.
In userspace, a new daemon program is created that will read the event objects and initiate repairs automatically. This daemon is managed entirely by systemd and will not block unmounting of the filesystem unless repairs are ongoing.

1.3. Support for Clang static analysis support
This release adds support for a Clang (22 or later) language extension, which enables statically checking that required contexts are active (or inactive) by acquiring and releasing user-definable "context locks". An obvious application is lock-safety checking for the kernel's various synchronization primitives (each of which represents a "context lock"), and checking that locking rules are not violated. This can help to detect bugs at compilation time.

1.4. Better io_uring support for filters
Due to its design, io_uring doesn't play well with the system call filtering done by system calls like seccomp. io_uring supports filtering, but it's not really usable for these cases. This release adds support for filtering, , which enablestighter control over what exactly a specific opcode may do. On top of that support is added for per-task filters, meaning that any ring created with a task that has a per-task filter will get those filters applied when it's created. These filters are inherited across fork as well. Once a filter has been registered, any further added filters may only further restrict what operations are permitted.

1.5. Extend open_tree(2) to allow for faster and simpler container setup
When creating containers the setup usually involves using CLONE_NEWNS via clone3() or unshare(), which copies the caller's complete mount namespace. After some tasks, the runtime will recursively umount the old mount tree thereby getting rid of all mounts. This can be wasteful and slow.
This release extends open_tree() with a new OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE flag. Similar to OPEN_TREE_CLONE only the indicated mount tree is copied. Instead of returning a file descriptor referring to that mount tree OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE will cause open_tree() to return a file descriptor to a new mount namespace. In that new mount namespace the copied mount tree has been mounted on top of a copy of the real rootfs. This allows OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE to function as a combined unshare(CLONE_NEWNS) and pivot_root().
2. Core (various)
(FEATURED) Generic file IO error reporting commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
(FEATURED) Compiler-Based Context- and Locking-Analysis (cover), commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
Add a minimal pseudo filesystem called "nullfs" and make pivot_root() work in the initramfs. Currently pivot_root() does not work on the real rootfs because it cannot be unmounted, nullfs is a minimal immutable filesystem that serves as the true root of the mount hierarchy. The mutable rootfs (tmpfs/ramfs) is mounted on top of it (cover), commit, commit, commit, commit
- io_uring
(FEATURED) Add support for both cBPF filters for io_uring, as well as task inherited restrictions and filters commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
zcrx: implement large rx buffer support (using support added in the networking layer in this release). Using larger (bigger than 4K) rx buffers can increase the effiency of zcrx. For example, it's been shown that using 32K buffers can decrease CPU usage by ~30% compared to 4K buffers commit
Allow non-iopoll cmds with IORING_SETUP_IOPOLL commit, (cover)
IOPOLL polling improvements commit
Introduce non-circular SQ commit
RCU: Re-implement RCU tasks trace in term of SRCU-fast commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
VFS: Struct filename series (cover), commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
Implement support of non-blocking timestamp updates, this did lead to a lot of context switches from applications using io_uring to submit file writes, which has now been fixed (cover), commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
Add support for ML-DSA signatures in X.509 certificates and PKCS#7/CMS messages (cover), commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
rseq: Implement time slice extension mechanism. This allows a thread to request a time slice extension when it enters a critical section to avoid contention on a resource when the thread is scheduled out inside of the critical section (cover), commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

Reorder some fields in struct rq commit
sched: Update rq->avg_idle when a task is moved to an idle CPU commit
(FEATURED) open_tree(2): add OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE, which copies only the specified mount tree (like OPEN_TREE_CLONE) but returns a mount namespace fd instead of a detached mount fd. The new namespace contains the copied tree mounted on top of a clone of the real rootfs. This functions as a combined unshare(CLONE_NEWNS) + pivot_root() in a single syscall commit
pidfs: convert rb-tree to rhashtable commit
pidfs: implement ino allocation without the pidmap lock commit
pid: Rework pid allocation to only take pidmap_lock once instead of twice during alloc_pid(), improving thread creation/teardown throughput by 10-16% depending on false-sharing luck (cover), commit, commit
