101 Network packet headers contain a great deal of information, but the
102kernel often only needs a subset of that information to be able to perform
103filtering or associate any given packet with a flow. The piece of code that
104follows the different layers of packet encapsulation to find the important
105data is called a flow dissector. In current Linux kernels, the <a

174Security and convenience rarely go hand-in-hand, but if your job (or life)
175requires extraordinary care against potentially targeted attacks, the

217 The Spectre variant 2 vulnerability allows the speculative execution of
218incorrect (in an attacker-controllable way) indirect branch predictions,
219resulting in
220the ability to exfiltrate information via side channels. The kernel has
221been reasonably well protected against this variant since shortly after its
222disclosure in January. It is, however, possible for user-space processes
223to use Spectre v2 to attack each other; thus far, the mainline kernel has
224offered relatively little protection against such attacks. A recent <a

334 It is common for kernel code to generate unique integers for identifiers.
335When one plugs in a flash drive, it will show up as
336<tt>/dev/sdN</tt>; that <tt>N</tt> (a letter derived from a
337number) must be generated in the
338kernel, and it should not already be in use for another drive or unpleasant
339things will happen. One might think that generating such numbers would not
340be a difficult task, but that turns out not to be the case, especially in
341situations where many numbers must be tracked. The IDA (for "ID
342allocator", perhaps) API exists to handle this specialized task. In past
343kernels, it has managed to make the process of getting an unused number
344surprisingly
345complex; the 4.19 kernel has a new IDA API that simplifies things
346considerably.

371 The developers of the Android system have, among their many goals, the wish
372to better protect Android devices against persistent compromise. It is bad
373if a device is taken over by an attacker; it's worse if it remains
374compromised even after a reboot. Numerous mechanisms for ensuring the
375integrity of installed system files have been proposed and implemented
376over the years. But it seems there is always room for one more; to fill
377that space, the <a

437 Many services, from web hosting and video streaming to cloud storage,
438need to move data to and from storage. They also often require that each per-client
439I/O flow be guaranteed a non-zero amount of bandwidth and a bounded latency. An
440expensive way to provide these guarantees is to over-provision
441storage resources, keeping each resource underutilized, and thus
442have plenty of bandwidth available for the few I/O flows dispatched to
443each medium. Alternatively one can use an I/O controller. Linux provides
444two mechanisms designed to throttle some I/O streams to allow others to
445meet their bandwidth and latency requirements. These mechanisms work, but
446they come at a cost: a loss of as much as 80% of total available I/O
447bandwidth. I have run some tests to demonstrate this problem; some
448upcoming improvements to the <a href="/Articles/601799/">bfq I/O
449scheduler</a> promise to improve the situation considerably.

461 The <a href="/Articles/763988/">4.19-rc2</a> kernel prepatch is out for
462testing.
463"<span>As usual, the rc2 release is pretty small. People are taking a
464breather after the merge window, and it takes a bit of time for bug
465reports to start coming in and get identified.</span>"
