During Kernel Recipes, after his talk on memory counters in Linux, I asked @vbabka a naive question : how does the kernel sort between active and inactive pages? He kindly pointed to this talk at LPC in 2022 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bnWQF7WQP0

It turns out the answer is quite complex, as there are many special cases : the talk is 54 minutes long, and answering my question with an overview (skipping many details) takes 20+ minutes!

I learned a ton on how memory reclaim works, and I recommend you watch it if you like to understand the details of how your OS works.

Well, yet another lesson learned and it was thundering!

Paul McKenney thanks a bunch for the erudition.

#KernelRecipes #kr2024

My colleagues @gpiccoli and André Almeida will attend the Linux Kernel Recipes 2024 in Paris, between the 23rd and the 25th of September. Make sure to talk to him if you are interested in what Igalia works on that is related to the Linux kernel and general OS development.

It seems the #KernelRecipes conference (which is held in Paris, every year) seeking an erudite, who can deliver the #Rust #programming #language talk.

Criterion:

One, applied that language construct in #linux #kernel development, i.e. already sent an acceptable patch/patches upstream.

Second, one must be proficient in it to give some insight into its practicality.
