[$] The folio pull-request pushback

Post Syndicated from original https://lwn.net/Articles/868598/rss

When we last caught up with the page folio patch set, it appeared to be on
track to be pulled into the mainline during the 5.15 merge window. Matthew
Wilcox duly sent a pull
request
in August to make that happen. While it is possible that
folios could still end up in 5.15, that has not happened as of this writing
and appears increasingly unlikely. What we got instead was a lengthy
discussion on the merits of the folio approach.
