[$] The future of ZONE_DEVICE
Friday April 4, 2025. 04:37 PM , from LWN.net
Alistair Popple started his session at the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem,
Memory-Management, and BPF Summit by proclaiming that ZONE_DEVICE is 'the ugly stepchild' of the kernel's memory-management subsystem. Ugly or not, the ability to manage memory that is attached to a peripheral device rather than a CPU is increasingly important on current hardware. Popple hoped to cover some of the challenges with ZONE_DEVICE and find ways to make the stepchild a bit more attractive, if not bring it into the family entirely.
