A new helper library for network filesystems, called netfslib, was the subject
of a filesystem session at the
2022 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory-management and BPF Summit (LSFMM). David Howells
developed
netfslib, which was merged for 5.13 a year ago, and led the session.
Some filesystems, like AFS and Ceph, are already using some of the services
that netfslib provides, while others are starting to look into it.
