Linux 7.0 changelog.

Summary: Linux 7.0 adds a new API for file IO error reporting; support in XFS for a new health monitoring feature; support for Clang static analysis support; better io_uring support for filters; support for new open_tree(2) flags that allow faster and simpler container setup; better swapping performance; support a new rseq(2) time slice extension mechanism; simplification of preemption selection; AccECN support enabled by default, for better handling of TCP congestion; and Btrfs experimental support for the remap tree. As always, there are many other features, new drivers, improvements and fixes.

You might also be interested in the list of changes done by LWN: merge window part 1, part 2

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().

1.6. Better swapping performance with swap table, phase II

As part of a long term effort to improve the swapping performance, which started in version 6.18, this release includes the code corresponding to the phase II of the swap table, which aims to clean up and speed up swapping code.

1.7. rseq: Implement time slice extension mechanism

This release adds a slice extension mechanism to the rseq(2) system call. Time slice extensions are an attempt to provide opportunistic priority ceiling without the overhead of an actual priority ceiling protocol, but also without the guarantees such a protocol provides.

The intent is to avoid situations where a user space thread is interrupted in a critical section and scheduled out, while holding a resource on which the preempting thread or other threads in the system might block on. That obviously prevents those threads from making progress in the worst case for at least a full time slice. Especially in the context of user space spinlocks, which are a patently bad idea to begin with, but that's also true for other mechanisms.

1.8. Simplification of preemption selection

Linux 6.13 added a lazy preemption mode that is a bridge between the voluntary and the full preemption mode. This raised the number of preemption choices to four. In order to simplify the kernel and make code cleaner, this release makes up-to-date architectures (arm64, loongarch, powerpc, riscv, s390, x86) have only two preemption models: full and lazy.

1.9. AccECN support enabled by default, for better handling of TCP congestion

Linux added experimental support for AccECN in 6.18 (after some work done in previous releases). This release finally enables it by default.

Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) is a mechanism where devices can mark IP packets, instead of dropping them, to indicate incipient congestion to the endpoints, but this was originally specified in such a way that only one feedback signal can be transmitted per Round-Trip Time (RTT). AccECN (RFC 9768) is a scheme that provides more than one feedback signal per RTT in the TCP header, which can be use to provide better TCP congestion handling.

1.10. BTRFS experimental support for the remap tree

This release adds support for a new tree in BTRFS file systems. This is a logical remapping tree, which will, in the future, act as a layer of indirection when doing I/O. When doing relocation, rather than fixing up every tree, the file system will record the old and new addresses in the remap tree. This will make things more reliable and flexible, as well as enabling some future changes BTRFS devs would like to make, such as larger data extents and reducing write amplification by removing cow-only metadata items.

1.11. Introduce kmalloc_obj() and family

This releases adds kmalloc_obj() to make kernel allocations more type safe.

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
