A path toward removal of kernel high-memory support
Tuesday September 9, 2025. 11:53 PM , from LWN.net
As a followup to his OSS Europe talk on the
future of 32-bit support in the kernel, Arnd Bergmann has put together a detailed plan for the eventual removal of high-memory support, which he calls 'one of the least popular features of the Linux kernel'. The intent is 'to gradually phase out highmem over the next 2 years for mainline kernels'. This plan is posted as a prompt for a discussion to be held at the Kernel Summit in December, so chances are it will evolve considerably in the next few months.
