From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
With the maturity of the EXT4 file-system it's not too often seeing any huge feature additions for this commonly used Linux file-system but there's still the occasional wild performance optimization to uncover... With Linux 6.11 the EXT4 file-system can see upwards of a 20% performance boost in some scenarios.
Ted Ts'o sent out the EXT4 updates today for Linux 6.11.
He explained in that pull request: "Many cleanups and bug fixes in ext4, especially for the fast commit feature.
Up to 20% faster for fast devices using async direct I/O thanks to JBD2 optimizations.
Indeed the patch from Huawei's Zhang Yi to speed up jbd2_transaction_committed() shows off some great improvements:
It's great continuing to see EXT4 uncover new performance optimizations.
