Apple HFS and HFS+ file-system drivers in the Linux kernel, once nearly removed due to being orphaned for a decade, are receiving a substantial batch of fixes for Linux 7.1. After developers stepped up to maintain these drivers about a year ago, the effort has proven successful with fixes each kernel cycle. The Linux 7.1 batch addresses issues found by Syzbot and xfstests failures, covering race conditions, b-tree logic, ctime updates, xattr handling, and potential Allocation File corruption after fsync.
