[$] Filesystems and iomap

Date:
Tue, 28 May 2024 13:56:57 +0000

Description:
The iomap block-mapping abstraction is being used by more filesystems, in part
because of its support for large folios.  But there are some challenges in
adopting iomap, which was the topic of a discussion led by Ritesh Harjani
in a combined storage and filesystem session at the 2024 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit .  One of the main trouble
spots is how to handle metadata, which is not an area that iomap has been 
aimed
at.
