[$] Dynamically allocated pseudo-filesystems
Monday May 16, 2022. 09:06 PM , from LWN.net
It is perhaps unusual to have a kernel tracing developer leading a
filesystem session, Steven Rostedt said, at the beginning of such a session at the 2022 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-management and BPF Summit (LSFMM). But he was doing so to try to find a good way to dynamically allocate kernel data structures for some of the pseudo-filesystems, such as sysfs, debugfs, and tracefs, in the kernel. Avoiding static allocations would save memory, especially on systems that are not actually using any of the files in those filesystems.
