The advent of the folio structure to
describe groups of pages has been one of the most fundamental
transformations within the kernel in recent years. Since the folio
transition affects many subsystems, it is fitting that the subject was
covered at the beginning of the 2024 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit in a joint session of the
storage, filesystem, and memory-management tracks. Matthew Wilcox used the
session to review the work that has been done in this area and to discuss
what comes next.
