Konstantin Komarov, a founder and head of Paragon Software, proposed the inclusion of the first corrective update for the ntfs3 driver in the Linux 5.19 kernel. Since the inclusion of ntfs3 in kernel 5.15 last October, the driver has not been updated, and communication with the developers has been lost, leading to discussions about the need to classify the NTFS3 code as 'orphaned' and subsequently remove the driver from the kernel.
Now developers have resumed publishing changes and have grouped together a set of accumulated patches. Preliminary patches were added and tested in the linux-next branch. The proposed patches fix bugs leading to memory leaks and crashes, resolve issues with executing xfstests, clean up unused code, and correct typos. A total of 11 fixes have been proposed.
