Linux 7.2 modifies the task scheduler to be more cache-aware and is able to co-locate tasks that share data within the same Last Level Cache domain. It also adds a fairer GPU scheduler for better scheduling of GPU jobs; better memory reclaiming that can provides large performance increases in some situations; more performant and leaner swapping implementation; support for USB4STREAM, which allows to send data streams through USB4 cables; performance improvements in Btrfs; a new dm-inlinecrypt storage target for inline block device encryption: new flags for the openat(2) system calls; faster reading of /proc/filesystems and /proc/interrupts; and preparations for the introduction of sub-schedulers in sched_ext. As always, there are many other features, new drivers, improvements and fixes.
