Linux Preparing Faster FAT32 Performance In 2027 With Up To 4.06x Improvement
Linux's FAT32 driver is getting another performance boost, this time up to 4.06x on synchronous mounts. Developer Matheus Alves de Almeida worked on batching synchronous mirror writes instead of synchronizing buffer-by-buffer, which currently serializes I/O and hurts performance. The patch is in Andrew Morton's mm-everything branch and could land in Linux 7.5. Earlier FAT32 performance improvements are slated for Linux 7.4.

Linux 7.4-rc2 Released With FAT32 Optimization, AMDGPU HDMI 2.2 Improvement
Linus Torvalds released Linux 7.4-rc2, calling it a big rc2 following the largest ever rc1. The release includes a notable FAT32 performance improvement, especially for synchronous mounts, AMDGPU driver fixes for HDMI 2.2 FRL, and numerous fixes for long-standing core memory management bugs. Torvalds noted the diffstat looks benign and is largely driven by automated coccinelle script updates that add noise, and that AI-generated fixes and bug reports continue to pour in. He said Alexei claims fixes on the bpf side are now coming in faster than new reports. Linux 7.4 is aiming for a stable release around the end of December.
