Linux 7.4 prepares large folios for FUSE
A patch queued in the FUSE for-next branch enables large folios when the system is not under memory pressure. Grouping contiguous pages into larger folios can reduce per-page overhead; Phoronix reports gains in buffered fio tests with both tmpfs and cold I/O on XFS over NVMe.
This is queued work, not a released-kernel result, and the article does not provide readable source-forum reactions: its discussion page returned HTTP 403. The linked kernel commit was also inaccessible during review, so treat the implementation and benchmark details as Phoronix’s report.
