It says right there in the post:
* improvements to the dynamic tick code,
* support infrastructure for DRM render nodes,
* TSO sizing and the FQ scheduler in the network layer,
* support for user namespaces in the XFS filesystem,
* multithreaded RAID5 in the MD subsystem,
* offline data deduplication in the Btrfs filesystem, and more.
- m_ram 13y agoIn case anyone else is curious, DRM in the kernel stands for Direct Rendering Manager [1]. It has nothing to do with the DRM that's usually discussed on HN. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Rendering_Manager https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Rendering_Manager
- RexRollman 13y agoConsidering the negative connotations of DRM, I am surprised it isn't named something else.
- cgh 13y agoThe name Direct Rendering Manager has been around since the '90s, since the XFree86 days. So I'm pretty sure this abbreviation predates that of the "bad" DRM.
- RexRollman 13y agoGood to know. Thanks.
