[$] Changing the filesystem-maintenance model
Maintenance of the kernel is a difficult, often thankless, task; how it is
being handled, the role of maintainers, burnout, and so on are recurring
topics at kernel-related conferences. At
the 2024 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit, Josef Bacik and
Christian Brauner led a session to discuss possible changes to the way
filesystems are maintained, though Bacik took the lead role (and the podium). There are a number of interrelated topics,
including merging new filesystems, removing old ones, making and testing changes
throughout the filesystem tree, and more.

Silva: How to use the new counted_by attribute in C (and Linux)
Gustavo A. R. Silva describes
the path to safer flexible arrays in the kernel, thanks to the
counted_by attribute supported by Clang 18 and GCC 15.
There are a number of requirements to properly use the counted_by attribute. One crucial requirement is that the counter must be initialized before the first reference to the flexible-array member. Another requirement is that the array must always contain at least as many elements as indicated by the counter.

[$] SUSE asks openSUSE to consider name change
SUSE has, in a somewhat clumsy fashion, asked openSUSE to consider rebranding to clear up confusion over the relationship between SUSE the company and openSUSE as a community project. That, in turn, has opened conversations about revising openSUSE governance and more. So far, there is no concrete proposal to consider, no timeline, or even a process for the community and company to follow to make any decisions.

[$] Hierarchical storage management, fanotify, FUSE, and more
Amir Goldstein led a filesystem-track session at the 2024 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit on his project to build a
hierarchical
storage management (HSM) system using fanotify.
The idea is to monitor file access in order to determine when to retrieve
content from non-local storage (e.g. the cloud). The session was a
follow-up to last year's introduction to the
project, which covered some of the problems he had encountered; this
year, he
was updating attendees on its status and progress, along with some other
problem areas that he wanted to discuss.
Redox to implement POSIX signals in user space
Redox has received a grant to work on implementing POSIX-compatible signals. The draft design calls for them to be implemented nearly completely in user space.
So far, the signals project has been going according to plan, and hopefully, POSIX support for signals will be mostly complete by the end of summer, with in-kernel improvements to process management. After that, work on the userspace process manager will begin, possibly including new kernel performance and/or functionality improvements to facilitate this.
