Many types of kernel changes can be hammered into shape on the mailing
lists. There are certain types of patches, however, that have a hard time getting to
the finish line that way; they are sufficiently large and invasive that
they need an actual gathering of the developers involved. The multi-generational LRU work (MGLRU) falls into this
category, which is why it was the subject of a full-hour session at the 2022 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory-management and BPF Summit (LSFMM). The discussion
held there may well have opened the doors for this code to be merged in the
near future.
