• [$] Improving the per-CPU memory allocator

    From LWN.net@618:250/24 to All on Wed May 20 06:40:09 2026
    There are many places in the kernel where performance can be improved by
    using per-CPU data. But, as it turns out, the kernel's allocator for
    per-CPU data has some performance problems of its own. Harry Yoo led a
    session in the memory-management track of the 2026 Linux Storage,
    Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit to explore ways to
    address those problems and accelerate the allocation and initialization of per-CPU data.
