Apologies for the delay, there haven't been a lot of explicit proposals for topics, but I think there is a lot to talk about, so I would like to hear more ideas but I have suggested a few of my own. Rik van Riel Memory management under virtualization (with KVM) Andrea Arcangeli Transparent hugepages KOSAKI Motohiro get_user_pages vs COW problem Boaz Harrosh Stable page contents under writeback Michael Rubin, Sorin Faibish, Jan Kara Writeback issues (several subtopics) I propose some other possible topics for agenda - Zone aware slab reclaim (eg. dentry, inode) - mmap_sem scalability, again - Page allocator scalability - OOM killer work - Direct reclaim, direct writeback problems Thanks, Nick On Wed, Jun 16, 2010 at 03:50:59PM -0500, James Bottomley wrote: > Given that we're under two months out, I thought it would be time to > post a summary of the topics we've collected so far (Nick will post the > MM summit ones later).
