    Description:
    As the 2025 Linux
    Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit (LSFMM+BPF)
    approaches, the density of memory-management patches on the mailing lists
    has increased. Included among those are patches aimed at improving the reliability and performance of huge-page allocation, implementing page promotion on tiered-memory systems, adding a different approach to deduplicating memory, and replacing the BPF memory allocator. Read on for
    an overview of each.
