A typical cloud-computing host will share some of its memory with each guest that it runs. The host retains its access to that memory, though, meaning that it can readily dig through that memory in search of data that the guest would prefer to keep private. The guest_memfd...
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...
At last year's Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit (LSFMM+BPF), there was a discussion about atomic writes that was accompanied by patches to support the feature in the block layer, and for direct I/O on XFS. That work was merged, but another piece...
Yonghong Song brought a story about tracking down the cause of a strange verifier error message to the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit. He then presented some possible ways to improve Clang's user experience for anyone running into the same...

Address-space isolation may well be, as Brendan Jackman said at the beginning of his memory-management-track session at the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit, 'some security bullshit'. But it also holds the potential to protect the kernel from ...
The kernel must often step through the page tables of one or more processes to carry out various operations. This 'page-table walking' tends to be performed by ad-hoc (duplicated) code all over the kernel. Oscar Salvador used a memory-management-track session at the 2025...

José Marchesi and David Faust kicked off the BPF track at the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit with an extra-long session on what they have been doing to support compiling to BPF in GCC. Overall, the project is slowly working toward full...
Ryan Sipes has announced efforts to expand Thunderbird's offerings with web services to 'enhance the experience of using Thunderbird'. The Why for offering these services is simple. Thunderbird loses users each day to rich ecosystems that are both clients and services, such ...
Outgoing Fedora Project Leader (FPL) Matthew Miller has announced his successor, Jef Spaleta. Some of you may remember Jef's passionate voice in the early Fedora community. He got involved all the way back in the days of fedora.us, before Red Hat got involved. Jef served on ...

The CPU's translation lookaside buffer (TLB) caches the results of virtual-address translations, significantly speeding memory accesses. TLB misses are expensive, so a lot of thought goes into using the TLB as efficiently as possible. Reducing pressure on the TLB was the...
