• [$] Policy groups for memory management

    From LWN.net@618:250/24 to All on Fri May 15 06:40:08 2026
    The kernel's control-group
    subsystem works well for resource management, Chris Li said at the
    beginning of his memory-management-track session at the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit. Control groups work
    less well for other use cases, though. He was there to present his
    proposed enhancement, called "policy groups", that would address some of
    the shortcomings that he has encountered. A consensus on how this feature should look still seems distant, though.
