Recent VFS pull requests merged into the Linux 7.3 development kernel include an improvement to the IOmap framework. This framework is utilized by various file-systems to map logical file byte offsets in memory to their physical locations on storage. The updated modern block mapping framework is observed to deliver "better performance at least for the EXT4 file-system". This change aims to enhance storage performance for users relying on file systems leveraging IOmap within the ongoing Linux 7.3 development cycle.
