Jan Kara has been working
on cleaning up how buffer
heads are used by some kernel filesystems. In a short
filesystem-track session at the 2026 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit, he gave an update on
that work and where it is headed. Topics included generic infrastructure
to track buffer heads for metadata, a buffer-head cleanup for the Amiga
filesystem, and some planned locking fixes.
