The kernel-development community is a busy place, with thousands of emails
flying by every day and many different projects under development at any
given time. Much of
that work ends up inspiring articles at LWN, but there is no way to ever
cover all of it, or even all of the most interesting parts. What follows
is a first attempt at what may become a semi-regular LWN feature: a quick look
at some of the work that your editor is tracking that may or may not show
up as the topic of a full article in the future. The first set of topics
includes memory folios, task isolation, and a lightweight threading
framework from Google.
