Abstract

It has been more than 2 years since the first early version of the "pmem" driver was merged in the Linux kernel. Since then, that single standalone driver has grown into family of drivers, and the enabling has branched out to touch the core kernel, memory management, and filesystems. This session provides an overview of the areas of the Linux kernel that have been impacted by persistent memory support, as well as the software component architecture of the operating system support. With that overview as a framework the session opens up for "Ask Me Anything" questions in the realm of Linux kernel persistent memory support.
