| Wine Developers Are Working On A New Linux Kernel Sync API To Succeed ESYNC/FSYNC
While there is the prior "ESYNC" and "FSYNC" work pursued by Wine for the Linux kernel, it appears Wine developers are back to the drawing board in coming up with a Linux kernel implementation for Wine synchronization primitives that will address all their needs and match the Windows behavior well.
CodeWeavers developer Zebediah Figura sent out a lengthy mailing list post on Sunday night outlining the current state and objectives of coming up with kernel-based Wine synchronization primitives. While the ESYNC/FSYNC patches were successful in improving the performance of many Windows games running on Linux, they are still working towards a more all encompassing solution and to match the behavior well for Windows and with optimal speed.

| Linux 5.11-rc4
Things continue to look fairly normal for this release: 5.11-rc4 is solidly average in size, and nothing particularly scary stands out. In the diff itself, the new ampere modesetting support shows up fairly clearly - it's one of those hardware enablement things that should be entirely invisible to people who don't have that hardware, but it does end up being about a fifth of the whole rc4 patch. If you ignore that oddity, the rest looks pretty normal, with random patches all over, and a lot of it being quite small. All the usual suspects: drivers (gpu, sound, rdma, md, networking..) arch updates (arm64, risc-v, x86), fiesystems (ext4, nfs, btrfs), core networking, documentation and tooling. And just random fixes. The appended shortlog gives the details as usual.. Linus ![]() |
