BLK-MQ To Support Runtime Power Management With Linux 4.20~5.0
The Linux mult-queue block I/O layer (blk-mq) has been working out well for delivering very fast performance particularly for modern NVMe solid-state storage and SCSI drives. But it turns out run-time power management hasn't been in use when blk-mq is active.
The multi-queue block code brings per-CPU software queues and these software queues can map to hardware issue queues. These multiple queues can reduce locking contention and the overall blk-mq design jives with current high-performance solid-state drive characteristics. The key drivers have been ported over to using blk-mq for a while now (end of Linux 3.xx / early 4.x kernels) and for Linux systems not using it by default can be activated easily via the scsi_mod.use_blk_mq=1 boot option.

FUSE Getting Another Performance Boost In Linux 4.20~5.0
Separate from the recent FUSE performance work talked about for making FUSE faster with the eBPF in-kernel JIT that hasn't been staged for mainlined, "File-Systems in User-Space" are set to see better performance on the next kernel (Linux 4.20~5.0) thanks to other changes.
Already having been queued for this next kernel cycle is copy_file_range support for FUSE to yield more efficient copy operations.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future Tech
The metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world.
Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility.
