Linux 6.18 Enhances Stability, Performance, and Hardware Support
Originally Published 3 months ago — by Phoronix
Linux 6.18 will include fixes for lockups caused by systemd units reading many files on filesystems with the lazytime mount option, which previously led to high CPU usage due to quadratic complexity in inode switching. The update addresses a bug in the writeback code that caused system hangs when handling large numbers of dirty inodes.
