Tejun Heo proposed a "BPF extensible scheduler class" for the #Linux #kernel's process scheduler which allows scheduling policies to be implemented as #BPF (aka #eBPF) programs: lore.kernel.org/all/2022113008…

From the #QEMU blog: Introduction to Zoned Storage Emulation – qemu.org/2022/11/17/zon… "QEMU hasn’t directly supported ZBDs before so this article explains how they work and why QEMU needed to be extended."

The main focus of my time for the last 8-9 months was sent to vger this morning: lore.kernel.org/all/2022113008… I'm super excited about the possibility of implementing scheduling policies with BPF. Very grateful to Tejun for leading the effort and allowing me to tag along for the ride.

#Mesa 22.3.0 is out: lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-… Besides usual (performance optimizations, support for new GPUs, …) it brings: * Rusticl: a OpenCL implementation written in Rust * improved Radeon RX 7000 support * OpenGL threading by default in RadeonSI * Mali T620 on panfrost

The new subsystem for compute accelerator devices ( airlied.blogspot.com/2022/09/accele…) is now in #Linux-next and thus slated for inclusion in #kernel 6.2: git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/… Congrats to everyone involved!

Hey Abandoned account of Thorsten Leemhuis (1/5) , think we can start adding comments for Linux kernel functions that don't have them? (I wonder if the explanation is correct).

git-pile 1.0 released: github.com/git-pile/git-p…

HID-BPF won't make it into #Linux #kernel 6.2 after all, as it uses an approach Linus really dislikes and doesn't want to see in mainline: lore.kernel.org/all/nycvar.YEU… x.com/kernellogger/s… Developers plan to change things, hence HID-BPF will likely be merged in a later release.

Outcome of my #Linux #kernel regression tracking work yesterday: * one reverts for a performance regression queued * one revert submitted, but then somebody showed up and pointed to a possible fix * one more revert under discussion All of that still for Linux 6.1.

I was hoping to post this when we had had next year's venue locked down, but we are still not there yet. Anyway, Thanks for all the krill! lpc.events/blog/2022/inde…

#Linux #kernel 6.1-rc8 is out, final expected in one week from now (e.g. on Sun, Dec 11th): lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wgyX… "[…] So everything looks good […] Let's hope this upcoming week is as quiet (or quieter). […]"
