A few days back I wrote about Google's Eric Biggers spearheading an AVX-512 implementation of xor_gen() as the Linux kernel function used for generating and validating parity blocks such as for RAID5/RAID6. That initial implementation was yielding up to 41% better performance while a new implementation has now been posted for scoring some additional victories.

Linus Torvalds just released the stable Linux 7.1 kernel and it's coming a half-day early thanks to his travel plans. Linux 7.1 is now stable! While a wild release cycle with the growing number of AI/LLm-reported bugs throughout the kernel, it's releasing today on time.
