This is the best summary I could come up with:


A new round of Bcachefs file-system fixes were submitted today for the Linux 6.9 kernel.

Bcachefs lead developer Kent Overstreet described today's pull request as: "Lots of fixes for situations with extreme filesystem damage.

New repair/construction code is in the final stages, should be ready in about a week.

Anyone that lost btree interior nodes (or a variety of other damage) as a result of the splitbrain bug will be able to repair then."

A variety of different fixes make up this pull request, which barring any objections should be merged soon to Linux Git ahead of Linux 6.9-rc3 due out next Sunday.

With how things are pacing for Bcachefs, there will likely be a new round of Linux file-system benchmarks on Phoronix for the 6.9 or 6.10 kernels.
