302. XArray

Matthew Wilcox

14/11/2018, 16:00

Now that the XArray is in, it's time to make use of it. I've got a git tree which converts every current user of the radix tree to the XArray as well as converting some users of the IDA to the XArray.

The XArray may also be a great replacement for a list_head in your data structure.

I can also talk about currently inappropriate uses for the XArray and what I might do in future to make the...

One year after its inception there are real hardened FSs.
Many innovative fixtures. But is it ready for upstream?

Few highlights:

• ALL VFS api working including dax, mmap IOCTL xattrs ACLs ....
  (Missing quota)
• IO API changed (From last year)
• Support for ASYNC operations
• Support for both pmem and regular block devices
• Support for private memory pools
• ZTs multy-channel and...

174. Filename encoding and case-insensitive filesystems

Gabriel Krisman Bertazi (Collabora)

15/11/2018, 09:45

Case-insensitive file name lookups is a recurrent topic on Linux filesystems, but its stalled development has regained traction in the past few years, thanks to its applications in platforms like Valve's SteamOS and Android. Despite aiming at simplifying the file lookup operation from a user point of view, since human languages don't directly correlate to arbitrary case folding and encoding...

305. Who stole my CPU? Steal time mitigation at Digital Ocean

Leonid Podolny (DigitalOcean), Vineeth Remanan Pillai (DigitalOcean)

15/11/2018, 11:00

Steal time due to hypervisor overcommitment is a widespread and well-understood phenomena in virtualized environments.
However, sometimes steal appears even when a hypervisor is not overcommitted. This talk will lay out our quest for better utilization of hypervisor hardware by reducing steal. We will talk about kernel heuristics causing it, how we handle disabling these heuristics by...
