#Phoronix #LinuxKernel

用于为基于android12-5.10内核的设备添加TCP Westwood Sub拥塞控制算法支持。

注意：
0. 该模块不限制机型、内核和rom，只要内核是android12-5.10的GKI就能刷。
1. 该模块不会主动修改你的TCP拥塞控制算法，你可以在Magisk/KernelSU app中点击该模块的action按钮来将TCP拥塞控制算法切换为Westwood Sub。
2. 该模块不支持LineageOS团队的OSS kernel，虽然在模块安装上没有设置限制，但tcp_westwood_sub.ko一定不会被成功加载。

This module is used to add TCP Westwood Sub congestion control support for devices based on the android12-5.10 kernel.

Notes:
0. This module is not restricted by model, kernel and ROM. As long as the kernel is GKI of android12-5.10, it can be flashed.
1. This module will not modify your TCP congestion control algorithm. You can switch the TCP congestion control algorithm to Westwood Sub by clicking the module's action button in the Magisk/KernelSU app.
2. This module does not support the OSS kernel of the LineageOS team. Although there are no restrictions on module installation, tcp_westwood_sub.ko will definitely not be loaded successfully.

Linux Fair DRM Scheduler Graduates Out Of The "RFC" Phase
8 October 2025 - Fair DRM Scheduler

Tvrtko Ursulin of Igalia has been leading the work on developing a "fair" DRM scheduler for Linux kernel graphics drivers. This scheduling algorithm is inspired by CFS and aims to improve the experience of running interactive graphical clients in parallel with heavy GPU workloads. This scheduler is inching closer to being ready for the mainline Linux kernel.
