- EXT4 in Linux 7.0 improves write performance for concurrent direct I/O writes by deferring the splitting of unwritten extents to I/O completion.
- Avoids unnecessary cache invalidation in the extent status cache.
- Prevents unnecessary forced ordered writes when appending to a file with delayed allocation.
- Introduces the err_report_sec sysfs attribute to control the error report timer frequency (default: 24 hours, configurable or disable by setting to zero).
- Includes various bug fixes.
