Description
Memory management has become exciting again. Some controversial subjects which might merit discussion:
- Should we add memory policy zones?
- How far should we go to support CXL?
- How do we handle page allocation in a memdesc world?
- Should we switch the slab allocator from partial slabs to sheaves?
- Can we get rid of non-compound multi-page allocations?
- What other improvements might we see from mTHP?
- How might we make allocations guaranteed to not fail?
- Can we share the pagecache between reflinked files?
- Is there a better way to share page tables between processes than hugetlb?
