The PREEMPT_RT patch in the 6.12 Linux kernel release enables real-time computing by allowing lower-priority tasks to be interrupted for higher-priority processes, enhancing overall system performance.
With the new sched_ext feature utilizing BPF, users can create custom scheduling methods, which first benefited game performance by ensuring smoother frame rates, indicating a significant enhancement for real-time applications.
The expanded XFS support and updates to the EROFS system in Linux kernel 6.12 greatly enhance file processing capabilities, ensuring better efficiency for large data sets and improving performance in virtualized environments.
Improvements in user space marking, made by Linus Torvalds himself, add another level of efficiency, suggesting a focused ongoing effort to refine usability and performance throughout the kernel.
