I have "a few" projects I'm working on / intending to work on in the near future.

Folios is the big one. This has sub-projects:

• MM:
  • Get large folio support in (5.18)
  • Convert GUP to folios (5.18)
  • Convert page_vma_mapped to folios
  • Convert rmap to folios (depends on page_vma_mapped)
  • Convert vmscan to folios (depends on rmap)
  • Move split_huge_page() to non-THP code
  • Get rid of all thp_size(), thp_order() and thp_nr_pages() calls (probably?)
• FS:
  • Adapt NFS to use large folios
  • Adapt btrfs to use large folios
  • Adapt CIFS to use large folios
  • Convert the a_ops to take folios instead of pages

Tangential to folios:

• Phyr
• Slab (Vlastimil took this over. merged 5.17)
• net pool as its own type
• pt pages as its own type
• zspage as its own type
• Can we make mapcount more sensible or disappear entirely?

• Remove aops->readpages

• Implement iomap ->writepages properly

Unrelated to folios:

• Maple Tree (Liam is doing most of the work)
• Shrinking struct mutex (Vishal has taken this on)
• Removing PG_private

• Synchronous ->readpage

• Broadcast readpage errors to all waiters

• Implement ->readahead for squashfs (Hsin-Yi)

• MatthewWilcox/ImprovedReadaheadAlgorithm

• Make the last argument to read_mapping_page() / read_mapping_folio() a struct file ptr
• Slab Sevenths (Bill is attacking this one)
• NUMA-aware zero page (Bill is working on this one too)
• NUMA text pages in the page cache (Linus seems sceptical)
• Usercopy (5.18. Sent to Kees)

  • If we check ->mapping for order-0 pages, is that a sure sign of individual allocation?

• Big Buckets (or integrate with Maple Tree)
• Readahead for compressed filesystems in general
• Fix XArray memory leak when memory allocation fails
• Removing b_end_io (Jitendra)
• Use an iov_iter in proc/vmcore (sent for 5.17? 5.18?)
• Enable -Wshadow (needs header file cleanups)
• Share memory when caching reflinked files
