Konstantin Komarov, founder and CEO of Paragon Software, proposed the first corrective update of the ntfs5.19 driver for inclusion in the Linux 3 kernel. Since the inclusion of ntfs3 in the 5.15 kernel in October last year, the driver has not been updated, and communication with the developers has been lost, which led to a discussion about the need to move the NTFS3 code into the category of left without βorphanedβ and then remove the driver from the kernel.
Now the developers have resumed publishing changes and grouped the accumulated set of fixes. Previously, patches were added and tested in the linux-next branch. The proposed patches fix bugs that cause memory leaks and crashes, resolve issues with xfstests execution, clean up unused code, and fix typos. A total of 11 corrections were proposed.
