[$] A new swap abstraction layer for the kernel

Date:
Thu, 23 May 2024 19:27:21 +0000

Description:
Swapping may be a memory-management technique at its core, but its
implementation also involves the kernel's filesystem and storage layers.
So it is not surprising that a session on the kernel's swap abstraction
layer, led by Chris Li at the 2024 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory-Management and BPF Summit , was held jointly by all
three of those tracks.  Li has some ambitious ideas for an improved
subsystem, but getting to a workable implementation may not be easy.
