A lot of development for the Linux 3.2 kernel series was going on, including an overhaul of the data I/O completion handler, further buffer cache speedups and cleanups, a major refactoring around xfs_bmapi, quota locking changes, and optimization for direct I/O on high IOP solid state devices. On the userspace side xfsdump saw a lot of cleanups in preparation of porting the multithreaded dump and restore code from IRIX. Xfsprogs saw a few fix to the xfs_quota tool and mkfs.xfs as well as a man page update. This month xfstests did not see any new test cases, but it got the usual amount of fixes and grew support for jfs and NFS v4.
