FUSE To Enjoy A Performance Improvement With Linux 6.16

([Linux Storage] 73 Minutes Ago FUSE Buffer Size)


Queued up via the FUSE "for-next" Git branch ahead of the upcoming Linux 6.16 merge window is a change to increase the read directory buffer size to in turn enhance the performance.

For those making use of a FUSE-based file-system for file-systems in user-space, with the upcoming Linux 6.16 kernel you may see better performance. Red Hat's Miklos Szeredi has increased the buffer size for readdir to match the count requested by user-space. In turn this should improve performance but no specific performance numbers were shared as part of the commit message.

[1]The patch is queued in FUSE for-next and thus expected for the Linux 6.16 merge window barring any last minute issues from being reported.

phoronix

My own life has been spent chronicling the rise and fall of human systems,
and I am convinced that we are terribly vulnerable. ... We should be
reluctant to turn back upon the frontier of this epoch. Space is indifferent
to what we do; it has no feeling, no design, no interest in whether or not
we grapple with it. But we cannot be indifferent to space, because the grand,
slow march of intelligence has brought us, in our generation, to a point
from which we can explore and understand and utilize it. To turn back now
would be to deny our history, our capabilities.
