In a remotely presented, memory-management-track session at the 2023 Linux Storage, Filesystem,
Memory-Management and BPF Summit, Fred van der Linden pointed out that
the line dividing resources controlled by the kernel from those managed by
user space has moved back and forth over the years. He is currently
interested in making it possible for user space to take more control over
the management of memory resources. A proposal was discussed in general
terms, but it will require some real scrutiny on its way toward the
mainline, if it ever gets there.
