This is thanks to a new NTFS kernel driver called “NTFS3”, which will be included in Linux 5.15, which is expected at the beginning of November. Linux distributions should soon support the Windows NTFS file system better out of the box. Linux kernel: more powerful driver for the NTFS file system integrated.Torvalds had some gripes about the way the patch was submitted but it was incorporated in the kernel. The driver was merged by Linux creator Linus Torvalds earlier this month, after Paragon’s Konstantin Komarov requested that a branch containing code for the ntfs3 driver be included. Paragon Software’s NTFS driver has been included in the 5.15 release of the Linux kernel, bringing reliable read and write functionality for this filesystem to the kernel. Paragon NTFS driver included in Linux 5.15 release.The original Habana Labs AI driver code for Linux 5.15 was strongly objected by DRM kernel developers as it was trying to push through DMA-BUF changes without the approval of the DRM developers and at the time also lacking any open-source user-space software. The concerning patches around DMA-BUF have now been removed and a new pull request submitted with updates to this AI driver for Linux 5.15. While last week was the main “char/misc” pull request for the Linux 5.15 merge window, the Habana Labs driver changes were previously reverted from there due to opposition from the upstream kernel developers in the Direct Rendering Manager space.
