A Fresh Take On Virtual Swap Space Being Pursued For The Linux Kernel


A request for comments (RFC) patch series sent out this week for the Linux kernel is working on the notion of Virtual Swap Space support

A request for comments (RFC) patch series sent out this week for the Linux kernel is working on the notion of Virtual Swap Space support. This latest work on Virtual Swap Space for Linux was posted by open-source developer Nhat Pham and is currently deemed a prototype implementation. I do, however, want to show people this prototype/RFC, including all the bells and whistles and a couple of actual use cases, so that folks can see what the end results will look like, and give me early feedback :)
