A new version of MGLRU patchset has posted. Among the changes in this new version, fix of long-tailed direct reclaim latency looks interesting.

Linux 6.0-rc6 (Linus Torvalds)

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CAHk-=wi=gtuSO8Yz8LDubkMk7TiMsZxpypt9S10jeZRkyaBFnA@mail.gmail.com

The sixth release candidate for Linux v6.0 has out. Maybe due to the LPC/OSS EU/Maintainers summit which all were held in last week, this release is quite small. Torvalds says it might mean that seventh release will be bigger than usual and therefore it might need one more week for v6.0 release. But, let’s see what happens.

Below is the diffstat of the releases in the last two years.

Note that the y-axis is in logarithm. I draw it using https://github.com/sjp38/relstat and https://github.com/sjp38/lazybox using below command:

$ relstat.py --since 2020-09-19 | ~/lazybox/gnuplot/plot.py \
    --data_fmt table --type labeled-lines --xtics_rotate -90 \
    --font "Times New Roman, 5pt" --ylog --pointsize 0.3

And, below is the diffstat of the -rc6 releases in the last two years.
