Linux 3.3 Boosts Linux Mobility
Android and Linux are officially back together.
Linus Torvalds released the Linux 3.3 kernel on Sunday, formally ending a two year dispute between mainline Linux kernel developers and Google Android developers.
The Linux 2.6.38 kernel that was released in February of 2010 removed Android code after Linux kernel developers alleged that it wasn't being maintained properly. Friction between Linux and Android developers boiled over in the summer of 2010, as each side blamed the other for not being in the Linux kernel. Since then, tempers have cooled and an understanding has been reached and with Linux 3.3, Android is back.
"Turns out I was wrong, we want these in the tree," Linux kernel developer Greg Kroah-Hartman wrote in his code commit adding Android drivers back into the Linux mainline.
Looking beyond Android, Linux 3.3 is also a noteworthy release for its filesystem improvements. The Btrfs next generation Linux filesystem is getting improved integrity checks for data. New balancing capabilities are included in Linux 3.3 to help Btrfs work with RAID storage. Ext4 which is currently the default filesystem used by many Linux distributions also gets a boost. There is now an online resizing interface for Ext4 that is intended to help speed up resizing activities.
