  • Linux 7.2 Improves EXT4 and XFS IOPS by 5% with Code Adjustment

    Phoronix · OS · 1d ago

    Linux 7.2 has seen optimizations that result in a 5% increase in IOPS for EXT4 and XFS file systems. This improvement comes from changes made to IOmap, a framework that maps file data offsets in memory to their physical storage locations. The enhancements are part of the VFS pull requests for the upcoming kernel version. The adjustments involve moving around just two lines of code, demonstrating the kernel's efficiency and potential for performance gains with minimal changes.
