[$] The intersection of lazy RCU and memory reclaim

Post Syndicated from original https://lwn.net/Articles/931920/

Joel Fernandes introduced himself to the memory-management track at the
2023 Linux Storage, Filesystem,
Memory-Management and BPF Summit
as a co-maintainer of the
read-copy-update (RCU) subsystem and an implementer of the “lazy RCU”
functionality. Lazy RCU can improve performance, especially on systems
that are not heavily utilized, but it also has some implications for memory
management that he wanted to discuss with the group.
