    Compute Express Link is a cache coherent fabric that has been gaining momentum in the industry. Whilst the ecosystem is still catching up with CXL 3.0 and earlier features, CXL 3.1 launched just after the 2023 CXL uconf, bringing yet more challenges for the community (temporal sharing, advanced RAS features). There also has been controversy and confusion in the...

    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?
