\nThe Flash Friendly File-System (F2FS<\/a>) has multiple performance improvements to provide its users with on the in-development Linux 7.0<\/a> kernel.<\/p>\n

As a lovely Valentine’s Day for users of this flash-optimized file-system are some nice performance improvements merged. The merge<\/a> notes: <\/p>\n

“In this development cycle, we focused on several key performance optimizations: <\/p>\n

– introducing large folio support to enhance read speeds for immutable files <\/p>\n

– reducing checkpoint=enable latency by flushing only committed dirty pages <\/p>\n

– implementing tracepoints to diagnose and resolve lock priority inversion. <\/p>\n

Additionally, we introduced the packed_ssa feature to optimize the SSA footprint when utilizing large block sizes.”<\/p>\n

The per-file, read-only large folio support is expected to provide “significant performance gains” though not quantified in the commit.<\/p>\n

With the optimization to checkpoint writes, flush times dropped from 158 ms to 11 ms with the now-merged patch. <\/p>\n

All around the F2FS updates for Linux 7.0 are looking quite nice in addition to several fixes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Flash Friendly File-System (F2FS) has multiple performance improvements to provide its users with on the in-development Linux…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":298741,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[7165,61,60,7164,7162,7161,7168,7166,7163,7167,7160,7171,80,7169,7170],"class_list":["post-298740","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-desktop-linux","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-linux-benchmarking","tag-linux-hardware-benchmarks","tag-linux-hardware-reviews","tag-linux-how-to","tag-linux-performance","tag-linux-server-benchmarks","tag-open-source-graphics","tag-phoronix","tag-phoronix-test-suite","tag-technology","tag-ubuntu-benchmarks","tag-ubuntu-hardware"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298740","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=298740"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298740\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/298741"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=298740"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=298740"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=298740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
