“Unlike Kpatch and Ksplice, which patch the running kernel without rebooting, Live Update Orchestrator takes a hybrid approach. While it requires a reboot, it focuses on keep critical devices running, which minimizes the side effects of the update.”
- Google is developing Live Update Orchestrator, a new system for updating the Linux kernel with minimal downtime.
- This technology is focused on cloud environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated without completely interrupting running virtual machines.
- Live Update is a specialized reboot process that keeps certain devices operational through kernel transitions.
- A new device infrastructure (dev_liveupdate) is introduced to integrate with the Live Update Orchestrator system.

Due to a defect to my AMD Ryzen 7950X3D and unfortunately no chance of RMA, I decided to purchase the brand new Ryzen 9 9900X. I hope I have better luck this time…

Adds a new decay parameter for a total of 21 parameters.
FSRS 6.0 Integration
Changes
- Updated FSRS dependency to version 6.0
- Added support for FSRS 6.0 parameters with 21 weights (including decay parameter)
- Added decay field to card data structure
- Updated forgetting curve calculation to use decay parameter
- Modified deck configuration to support FSRS 6.0 parameters
- Updated simulator and retention calculation logic for FSRS 6.0
Key Features
- Decay Parameter Support
- Added
decayfield to card data structure - Default decay values:
- FSRS 6.0: 0.2
- FSRS 4.5/5.0: 0.5
- Updated forgetting curve calculation to use decay parameter
- Added
- Parameter Management
- Added
fsrs_params_6field to deck configuration - Maintained backward compatibility with FSRS 4.5 and 5.0 parameters
- Updated parameter optimization and simulation logic
- Added
- UI Updates
- Modified forgetting curve visualization to account for decay
- Updated deck options interface to support FSRS 6.0 parameters
Technical Details
- Updated protobuf definitions to include decay field
- Modified memory state handling to include decay parameter
- Updated SQLite storage to handle new decay field
- Adjusted simulator configuration for FSRS 6.0 parameters
Dependencies
- Updated FSRS dependency to latest version
- Updated various Rust dependencies to compatible versions
Testing
- Updated test cases to handle new decay parameter
- Modified forgetting curve tests to account for decay
- Updated simulator tests for FSRS 6.0 parameters
Notes
- This update maintains backward compatibility with existing FSRS 4.5 and 5.0 configurations
- Users can continue using their existing parameters until they choose to upgrade to FSRS 6.0
- The decay parameter provides more flexibility in forgetting curve modeling
