Real-Time Support "PREEMPT_RT" For Linux Held Up Due To Lack Of Funding - Phoronix
While there was kernel talk of merging the PREEMPT_RT code in 2020 for this real-time functionality for the Linux kernel, among other times in the past that has yet to happen. These "RT" patches have long been maintained out-of-tree but it turns out that while in the past it was seemingly close for merging, that effort has stalled for lack of funding.
The PREEMPT_RT code is around 200 patches and has seen consistent out-of-tree updates for use on real-time systems. Those unfamiliar with the RT patches can see their rather dated Wiki and other past material.
What's new today is finally some clarity on the mainlining situation for the RT patches... During an ELISA (Enabling Linux In Safety Applications) presentation last month by well known kernel developer Thomas Gleixner of Linutronix and who has been heavily involved in the RT patches, he provided an overview of PREEMPT_RT.

OpenZFS 2.1 Gets More Cleanups, Better Documentation Ahead Of Release - Phoronix
The seventh release candidate of OpenZFS 2.1 is now available for testing while it looks like soon it will cross the finish line as the latest feature release for this open-source ZFS file-system implementation for Linux and FreeBSD systems.
Going back to the end of March there has been OpenZFS 2.1 release candidates coming out frequently and with Thursday's 2.1-rc7 release it amounts to seemingly some final code clean-ups and documentation updates. The OpenZFS 2.1-rc7 release brings some man page updates, several FreeBSD specific fixes, fixing some test failures, a write-mostly sums counter implementation as a minor optimization for statistics counters, the systemd zfs-mount-generator has been rewritten in C rather than being a shell script, and other small changes.

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.
